## Summary

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams discuss a range of hardware hacks, including Elliot's Eggbot CNC machine and Vinod S's Qi wireless charging implementation. They also cover piezoelectric VLF antennas from SLAC, an Etch-A-Sketch selfie robot, and a wooden mouse CNC project. The episode concludes with an interview with Trenton Ivy about the social Capture the Flag event at CypherCon and a discussion on the conflict between 5G spectrum and weather forecasting.
