   Mike, you should have just stayed over in your sandbox playin with yer bionicles and star wars miniland figs and all that. Because now you’ve hopped over into the spacebot playpen and shown off a big bad awesome dude that makes all us other kids feel bad. ;p

Oh, you’re just sore because of what I said about all those squirrels dying of asphyxiation in outer space. You see, in a squirrel-less future, Tony’s vie for power goes unchallenged, and thus The Danza reigns supreme! ;-)

Thanks, Ryan!

   Another amazing MOC! I watched the videos and I am still amazed that the bot can actually “process” a tree! That was pure genius!


BTW- the “Oops!” video is not playing correctly, at least on my computer.

Thanks, Brian! My original plan was to have it so that just long plates or tiles could be feed through him, so that it looked like he was sanding down and shooting out wooden planks. But, the whole tree idea with he leaves getting stripped off is much more fun to watch, I think.

Plus, it’s just pretty darn funny to see “logs” being squeezed out of his backside. ;-)

(I just tried uploading the “Oops” video again, so hopefully it’s working for you now.)

   Dude. You’re a total genius with this stuff. How you continue to combine engineering and aesthetics in every moc astounds me.

The secret is to build a MOC that’s based on something that has a catchy theme song that you can hum or sing the whole time you’re constructing it. In this case, having they lyric “I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra!” running through my head was all the inspiration I needed. Thanks, Monty Python! (And thanks to you, too, Gil, for the compliments!)
