Hacking a £200 robot to go get Google search results, allowing the search terms to be submitted via Twitter, and live streaming the results should have been easy, right? Well, not quite. But it was fun. See how our little robot got on here.

Everything we do has that extra little bit of spark and inventiveness that lets our ideas take on a life of their own - so they can live beyond media, campaign plans and budgets.
Technology is at the heart of a rapidly changing world, where innovative thinking is creating new ways to connect and engage with people. So we're constantly looking to experiment and try new things that challenge convention. And everyone in our agency is encouraged to exercise their creativity, from dreaming up mobile apps to Kinect hacks and Arduino wizardry. This is our lab.

Using HTML5 components, a collection of weird and wonderful videos from our server, and his massive brain Ugo built this great app for The Lab - Weapon7 TV. Watch past and present Weapon7-ers embarrasing themselves here.
We wanted to bring a virtual city to life using music, for one of our clients; smart. By combining We7’s API and streaming music service with our flash 3d environment we got the party started all over the web with our favourite tracks. Try it for yourself.
The Lab got so bored by being asked who was this funky new band on the office spotify that we created this instead. Reading the last.fm scrobbled information from the spotify app we pulled it all together into a great little web service. We even added push notifications for Chrome and Fluid users. So we can always know whats playing at Weapon7. Have a look.
Using the twitter api (and some other clever web services) we’ve created a fantastic web tool to analyse your brand. Try it on your clients, on your friends, or even on yourself. See it in action here.
