The PUSH N900 campaign from Nokia has moved across the Atlantic to the USA. With their Mod In The USA campaign running to see what the US can musture up in hacking the Nokia N900. 3 Teams have been chosen as finalists who will be showcasing their mod designs to a panel of judges, with a chance of winning up to $10,000 in prizes.
The 3 finalists and their ideas can be found below:
Niko the Robot – Niko the Robot pairs the Nokia N900 with Lego NXT building kit to create a robot that utilizes the Nokia N900 as its ‘brain.’ It will understand commands sent via Twitter to a specific handle, send feedback about the area around it as well as post pictures from the Nokia N900’s camera.
Pit Crew – This mod sets up the Nokia N900 to be the brains behind a slot car in order to compete against human competitors. Using Python code and algorithms, the Pit Crew thinks they can have a Nokia N900-controlled car beat a man-controlled car.
Bike Dashboard– This set up utilizes several different features of the Nokia N900. From the GPS to the camera, the team behind Bike Dashboard, BrettSarahTops, think they can turn the Nokia N900 into a car-like dashboard. Showing a speedometer, odometer, mapping your route with GPS and even providing a car horn – this app might have it all!To follow the teams and their progress and to find out the winners and more about their hacks, visit the Mod In The USA blog.
