Robo Discotronic

I've received a wonderful surprise gift! Okikteluk - www.okikteluk.net - just built some poseable bots, but he did a terrible job in keeping them locked up in their designated work zones! They escaped and immediately went rogue! Basic loyalty and productivity algorithms were quickly overwritten by outrageous dance routines and sensory addiction to random colored lights.

The partying seems to have gotten more serious and all of sudden the little bots blew through thousands of dollars in batteries! They made new friends in the wee hours, and threw birds around in the end when things got rowdy.

Thanks Okikteluk! Stop-motion animation and robotography were exactly what I hoped to see after posting these paper toys!

Facebot's Arm Error

I made a small "oops" and I apologize. The previous version of the Facebot Dynactron template contained two identical left hand pieces. Not too great if you wanted a right and left hand!

The template has been updated to fix this issue, and I am also including a link to a PDF file which just contains a "Right Hand" part that you can print out.

You can patch your finished or half-finished Facebot pretty easily:

1. Simply print out and assemble the right hand.
2. Cut off the right hand on your completed Facebot using scissors or a knife.
3. Glue on the new hand where the old one was!

If you cut cleanly enough, nobody will ever know!

Thanks to Dan for letting me know about the problem!
