The Pinoccio project is an Internet of Things toolkit that recently passed their fundraising goal on Indiegogo (with 8 days left). They’ve posted an interesting project: a Web Rover robot that you can control from thousands of miles away over the web.

Plans and code are available on their website, and there’s a video of the Web Rover in action on Vimeo.
