Thomas the Robot
pamelamyers | November 21, 2017
In their never-ending quest to create enough robots to conquer the world (or at least our house), Mark and Sam started building a new robot, this one pretty much from scratch, no kit at all. The goal was to create a robot that looked “humanoid” instead of like a Mars rover. Sam loved the idea and came up with a rough plan that Mark figured out how to carry out.
They toiled for a lot of nights after homework and on weekends, but it was coming along!
Sam helped to program it…
Here he is, almost done (yes, it’s a “he”).
Meet Thomas! (Sam’s choice of name). She wants to give him crazy hair, but they haven’t attached it yet, so she is holding it up for effect. Look out world! The robots are coming! I hope they’re friendly! He’s pretty cool. The lights can change color, his arms move, and he can smile or frown.
