My robot is having a hard time getting around and I think that it's because the motors seem to be sticking. Even on my linoleum floor, my little tank robot often gets stuck and goes in slow circles, because one motor gets stuck. Once I nudge it or (...)

Yes, I realize that crabs have 6 legs and claws and whatnot, but this crab would like to take you out for an evening on the town. Who would turn down the Gentleman Crab?

Mladen, you never fail to bring the heat. Everyone has already hit on the great details, all I'm going to add is that it is highly arousing.
