Andyman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Action Robot, It was included in the original Dollar store build. Maybe we should just drop the Dollar store and call it the "Junk Box and Hardware store Build Off" Besides I can get around easier on my mobility scooter at Home Depot or Lowes than I can at our local Dollar store with it's narrow isles. I think I'll start building today, if nothing else I'll have a new robot You just described my Andybots. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 You just described my Andybots. ;) HAHAHA, actually your latest builds got my juices runnung again! I've always like working with wood. Amoeblablok R2 D2 steampunk started me on my first wood robot, I built several Boiler Plate wood planked robots. When Action Robot mentioned using his junkbox on the build it sounded like the perfect time to use wood again. So I spent a few hours in the shop today and here is the start.

Also the button batteries adds some as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve's Bots and Rays Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey guys, sounds like a fun build.

WJN Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I like it! Something about the metallic blue & wood really works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 grandpa, I do worry a bit about the little button batterys in the last two bots. I have kept old button batterys laying around the shop for years now and all most all of them do start to leak "the white powdery stuff around the seals" it just seems to be a matter of time. But no matter, I still am digging your new creations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no matter, I still am digging your new creations!John, That was also a concern of mine. I'm using the newer Zinc Air Battery for hearing aids that don't have the leaking problem of the mercury or alkaline button cells. I'm really enjoying these little robots, the days of building my earlier type of robots are over. I can't take the smells of the solvents, fillers, paint and sealers I used to use.
