I managed to slap together a robot this morning in about an hour and half. After fixing one major design flaw, I was basically covering up the IR port, I discovered it's about a 1/4 inch too long. I hope this isn't a problem. I'll definitely build a (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Iain, how's the duck factory coming? I've been thinking about this one. Sounds like fun to try. If this were an actual contest, I'm guessing you wouldn't be allowed parallel assembly.
