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.
