You know you're a roboteer when.....

[calumco]

when you've spent the whole weekend kitting out your new workshop shed and after having no money left decided to make your own workbench

When you get a Christmas card addressed to your robot.

Nah I recently discovered the joys of sphagnum moss on a recent camping trip......wow talk about a fresh wipe!

Hey you can't beat the classics. I guess if you forget history your'e bound to repeat it.

When you can claim that the Foo Fighters' Low video is based upon your Saturday nights in the hotel during a 2-day event

...how can you forget you had a Wheely Big Cheese in there?

It was in a old box on the shelf?

It was in a old box on the shelf?

As a matter of fact it was in a 'stuff to do later box' then last week Roger replied to an email I sent him in September last year and shortly after a set of gear boxes turned up.

Paints the wrong yellow, flippers held on with two bits of wood, no electrics, no pneumatics but it looks ok from a distance

Oh and another one.........

You have a very short attention span and knowing you haven't got any of the robots ready for the event in two weeks time you go and start something else which seems more interesting and then.......................oooh I think I'll have a sandwich.........

Heh, good luck if you're going to try and redo it Andy

My contribution: Spending virtually two hours a night not sleeping but awake thinking about robot construction, coming up with great new ideas for flipper hinges and securing gas bottles at 4 in the morning, and excessive doodling of screw positions when you should be revising...and I won't even be building for another month
