So in general I tend to start ridiculous projects thinking, "This is going to be easy." I've embarked on too many of these wild goose chases to count. I suppose you have to dream. Anyway, most of the time the ultimate goal is to teach my kids something interesting. Usually it just turns into a massive hole into which my time gets sucked. The kids wander off and I'm left tinkering with stuff I have no business doing because so many other things are waiting to be done. But I can't stop, because ... I ... am ... stupid. Here is one such example. The antiquated VCR broke, so we decided to make a robot out of it. Check out the video below. It is less of a robot and more of a mechanical aberration.
I thought it was great! Can you adapt it so it can hold a video tape? If you can, you can probably program it to walk up to your new VCR & insert the tape. It'll feel like it's going home.

ReplyDeleteI wish I had time to tinker with stuff like that. Just not enough time until the kids get a bit older.
ReplyDeletewow, that actually looks kinda cool! I could never make something like that. I can't even make paper snowflakes ;DD lol.
ReplyDeleteJoshua, Small kids are difficult, but then they get older and have science projects and the like. I think I like them better when their young.
ReplyDeleteBaiba, I bet you could make something like this. It only takes time.
It looks like a moving wood pile?! :0]
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo awesome! It reminds me of an Ent ;)
