..and the best way to introduce someone to Theo Jansen's amazing mechanisms is
to have someone build one out of common materials you have on hand (OK, I'm a
little short of 7L axles as well, but that can be worked around). Really, this

Interesting mental image :-). But still, we always knew she was a robot type at
