As promised, I’ve been home in the weekend to finish my Brawnbot series with
some of the nasty things it can do to a minifig.
No cheating! It can hold it!
Furthermore Brawnbot is high enough to load a container onto a monorailwagon on
the high track, but I forgot to photograph it.
And then for the new stuff:
Sorry for the dark pictures
The Swan assembly bot is mounted on a four wheel wagon, has two arms with
fingers to manipulate tools and pieces, and a welding ”snout” on a long swan
neck to be able to reach everywhere.
What do you need a botforge for when you can just press self replicate when
business is slow? (remember to enter a maximum number before you leave for the
weekend!) sorry for the huge picture; you couldn’t see what was happening on a
smaller one
My father also made a couple of bots for the contest, and asked me to write the
following:
Meet Twinbot (nickname Thinbot), the first bot with tumbleweed locomotion, one
head above ground at all times. He has heaps of works as Bottery Catalogger,
assisted by his mate Lankybot (also called Fatbot). He follows the call of the
wild and spends his few leisure hours rolling the wide plains with the (small)
tumbleweeds.
And meet Lankybot (nickname Fatbot), named after a character in a fairy tale
(www.bugge.com). He only works part time as Bottery Catalogger Assistant in the
forenoon, helping his mate Twinbot (also known as Thinbot) sorting stuff. After
a good midday rest he spends the whole afternoon riding with friends. He likes
SpeedDrink, or BotPot; it always tastes best when it is snitched, and nothing
beats a trip on JediBrand. Friends are nice to have when you get into trouble.
The small crafts are my fathers as well; I have nothing to do with them!
By the way Kevin, you’re very welcome to give me the AT-AT if you don’t want to
give it to Lenny or Ryan; It was my 25 birthday friday and I only got a 4$
set... :-(
Wouldn’t that be nicely 3vil to them? ;-)
