Eagle Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 So, this project started a little over a week ago. It was to be the bus stop robots. Well things were going well until I ran out of 20 gauge sheet metal. That meant putting another project aside. I wasn't about to do that . Has happened too many times lately. So what to do with the male. Thursday night one of the flight crew brought in an old wagon. Said she was saving it for me. Great, now what to do with an old wagon ? I was headed to the scrap pile and it hit me . The bus stop robot. So here he is in his glory ! Full throttle in burner. I still have to put the rocket motors on tonight.After he dries, I'm going to antique it like old copper. This was fun. Now what do I do with it ? Anyone wants one or wants to build one or a variation of one ,,,,,let me know. Oh yeah I just added his antenna/hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe K. Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 GREAT job, Mark.That last photo got me thinking...AlfalfaDrome really needs to be taken out of that wagon (nice touch with the "fender flares" by the way!) and put behind the wheel of that boat!!!! Now THAT would be a lawn ornament! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Your on Joe . Alfalfadrome is able to be completely disassembled and posed in different situations .The joints are all movable. OhOh you may have started something ! :rolleyes: I just installed the rocket motors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridarobot Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Very cool Eagle. Love the wagon wings ! Are you going to do the female robot too? Hey, I got an idea. Why don't you add some motors to the wagon and make it Remote controlled. Really get the neighbors wondering when they see your robot tooling around the front yard. :lol: You sure know how to make a guy feel guilty Eagle. I just haven't had as much time to work on my robots lately but I do have a great excuse. Blame it on the Dolphins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 What a great video. Yeah,thats a great excuse! Never been to Florida but the dolphins alone would make it worth the trip. Botstock in Florida !!!!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Ok ,,,,,,,,,,, Joe wanted to see him in the boat and Spark wanted him under a tree. You got it. :rolleyes: Alfalfadrome is versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Two things, has Alfalfa had boating training....and, how far can you throw one of those leg bones for me? I can't wait to ride in that boat with the robot at the helm. Can you do a remote control for steering? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
