Upon hearing this bit of info, Dragon returns (rather wearily) from scalping his APID card outside.
/me continues cooking... doesn't anybody get hungry?
SPACEY- You need a robot, eh? Does it have to be functional? If it actually needs to do anything, sorry, can't help you there. Go out and buy yourself some stuff from a hobby shop. If it doesn't... then we get to do some really fun stuff. Do you have a little brother/sister? Borrow some play-dough. It worked miracles for my 9th grade science project. As an alternitave, use the wonders of mud to your advantage.
However, if you really have your heart set on using cardboard, then you can make some modifications. Take old giftwrap, french-fry boxes, toilet paper rolls (paper towel holders work nicely as well), klenex boxes, and a bit of paint to make your fav. gundam come to life. If you have any old tires, cut 'em up and put on a couple of cute treads for decoration.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Use (url="http://"http://www.askjeeves.com")jeeves(/url) or a couple (url="http://"http://www.google.com/search?q="science+project+help"")science project sites(/url) to generate a couple ideas.
Put me in your credits! I'll e-mail you my acceptance speech, and I think we can arrange an i-cam meeting with your instructor. Does your school have video hookup? We can get a link through appletalk, and... you get the idea.

My 'robot' is a crane.
I need some ideas. What should I use; whels or legs? And if wheels, what should I use for wheels? And if legs, what should I use for legs?
This is due tomorrow, please give some ideas quickly. Thanks.
By the way, for some stupid @$$ reason, I can't use Constructs, Legos, or anything like them.

Legs, ge get some sticks.

Wheels, but make sure that it has a brake of some sort so it doen't roll away. Name it Marvin. Play-dough will work well for helping things to stick. Aluminum foil makes it look all nice and aluminumy. Use a bike chain on the crane part. There.
Gee, thanks guys. But it doesn't even have to move, much less look good.
Well, I will use wheels, but I don't know how I'm going to make them; they actually have to work.
I will connect some playdough to the base of the crane.
I will put a small magnet at the end of the crane, attached by... playdough!
Thanks guys; never thought of playdough. I was thinking of the good ole duct tape.

Duc k tape is better.
You've all forgotten about me. Goodbye. J/K, I ain't goin' nowhere. Insano tries to figure out what advantages being of the "authorized personel" gives him.

Or use a real duck, and put some sort of crane on it. Then you wont have to worry about legs or wheels or what have you... or perhaps you should get a duck with wheels!? Or even better a duct with wheels!
Robot air conditioning vents take over the planet!

...but play-dough covers up all the vents, causing massive suffocation and the Earth is restored! 3 cheers for play-dough, whoo-hoo!

I appeared in the Boozerama Bar because there was something productive I could say in it. I have previously appeared here on other similar occasions. And yes, it was sarcasm.

Insano chugs a DP. I was at a party yesterday and they were all out of DP. Nooooo!!!!! I really was heartbroken, though.
Nono, it's Duc t tape. It is commonly mistaken for as duck tape. Duck tape does not exist....
Hey, everyone go (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn")here(/url) Really funny, I stumbled on it a while ago.

Do you watch these bars, or just swoop in once in a while to explain something?
Duck tape does not exist....
Duck TapeΕ½ is a company that manufactures duct tape. And we've seen (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn")that link(/url) before, but it might have been "before your time."
Insano: Keep those dumb movies coming! They're hilarious!
Originally posted by Luke: Do you watch these bars, or just swoop in once in a while to explain something?
I watch much of what goes through many of the Ambrosia boards, and nearly everything that goes through this board.
So.. so if I were to take a shower on the board? Er... I'd rather not think about that.

It's Duct TapeΕ½

Man Insano! That bear movie is hilarious! That looks like a real bear! Hmm... I know bears are smart and can be trained, but that wasn't really a real bear...
Amazing what computers can do these days.
So, DA, here's an easy one. Why did Soda Wars die?

David Arthur! Although, your version of DA might apply to you now...
