This a really high tech approach Tony.  Took a little running back and forth
in WMP, but it is a novel way to pickup the instructions. Funky little 'bot

"instructions".  Here is the result- a short animation that shows you how to
put it together one piece at a time while it spins in front of you.

I made other renders with more frames- and they looked great.  But the final
result was an unreasonably large file.  This one uses one frame per added

upload one of the 100+ frame animations at some point.

If you want to see some ancient pics of this robot, it appears in my Colony
Ship gallery that I posted to my site in late 1999:
