Steve Norris's house must be full of robotic marvels. He's got that RoboStool we showed you, and also this creative clock that uses a robotic arm and a series of 14 numbered cards. He's coupled a CrustCrawler Smart Arm with a Parallax Propeller chip, and surrounded the arm with a semicircle of cards — it'll arrange them appropriately out in front of it, displaying the correct time. It may seem slower than an ordinary clock with three hands, but there's a definite charm in watching Norris's Stonehenge Clock move about.

This guy reminds me of the character JF Sebastian from Blade Runner. He probably has two miniature robots greet him when he comes home. "Home again, home again, jiggidy-jig! Gooood Evening, J.F!"

It takes over a minute to change the digits. Not exactly the most handy.
