Meet Urist.
« on: July 25, 2012, 01:22:37 am »
What do you call a thing that is finicky, disobedient, tough, short, stupid, cat-loving, but still awesome and lovable? Urist, of course. That's the first name that came to mind when we were building this:

Spoiler: TaDaaaa ... aaaaaaa ...  :S (click to show/hide)

That's Urist - a balsa and PVC competition robot. Here are some stats:

Weight: 11 lb.
Top Speed: 2.1 mph.
Cans of root beer consumed during the build: 48 (2 x 24-pack cases)
Ounces of CA (Cyanoacrylate - superglue) used: 2.5

Rather than describing it in still photos and text, I have VIDEOS!!!!

I just thought I would show you guys that DF lives on outside of our terrorized fortresses. And cats.

I always appreciate things made with someone's blood, sweat, and root beer. Awesome job.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
