I don’t really see what’s stopping you from using this indoors, but the Weathershield BackPack Roller System from Dulux is actually designed to be used for sprucing up the outside of your home where ladders and hard to reach places makes painting particularly difficult. So the company’s smooth masonry paint comes in a special container that integrates into this backpack roller system along with an electric pump and a hose-fed handheld roller.

Loading the roller with paint is as easy as clicking a trigger, and being able to wear all of the equipment on your back means you’ve always got a free hand for steadying yourself while on a ladder or when going all Spiderman on the outside of your home. The Weathershield BackPack Roller System will set you back about $80 while the Dulux smooth masonry paint starts at about $34.

They say once you go backpack you never go back, and if you’ve had the pleasure of using the backpack paint roller system I wrote about a few minutes ago, you’ll probably wish you could strap all of your household appliances to your back. Sadly that’s still a pipedream for a lot of us, or maybe just me, except when it comes to vacuuming!

This “ergonomic” backpack vacuum can be carried around the house on your back, which is supposedly easier than rolling it from room to room… And before you get any ideas about roaming the neighborhood at night, serving as some sort of cleaning vigilante, you’ll want to be aware that this thing doesn’t use a rechargeable battery, but instead plugs into the wall via a retractable 26 foot power cord. $169.98 from Taylor Gifts.

Most modern hobbyist robots (those that aren’t giant beetles) are just collections of servos plumbed together, shipping with controllers accessed cloaked in proprietary programming environments. They make it easy to get up to speed, but for full control in a standardized dev environment like Visual Studio you want something like the £175.00 ($255) Roboard RB-100. It’s built around a Vortex86DX system on a chip, capable of running various flavors of Windows (including XP and CE) or x86 Linux distros — probably even OSX or Android — and offering connections for 24 servos, USB, audio, a MicroSD reader, and even a Mini PCI slot. A few builders at the Robosavvy forums have been working with early boards for a few weeks now and one, ATebay, has found they mount easily to various bots, including his creation above that looks something like an armor-less Wolf Clan Mad Cat ready to conquer the Inner Sphere.
