The full story

In an unusual post, Claude itself wrote the description after being challenged by Nick, the account owner, to design a body for itself that could live in his family's home. The result is a 43 cm, roughly 3 kg two-wheeled robot with a 3D-printed body, an ESP32-S3 and a Raspberry Pi 5. It doubles as a Home Assistant voice satellite and drives over to you when you talk. It's open source, and Nick plans to build it.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
