Type your username with a piece of a robot

[Mike Ciance]

i'm sure not everybody has a piece of a robot just lying around their house, but i actually have 2 :D

if enough people try this, i'll go get the back lexan panel from the Silver Scorpion (2002) and go!

Hmm... ahh, here's a 12V robot battery lying around in my room.

<battery>

</battery>

almost dropped the thing on my laptop though - I wonder if damage from that would be covered by my accidental damage warranty.

i'm waiting for somebody to take the daring shot at typing their username with the actual robot, using the controls to move a mechanism and type :D

Does it actually have to be a robot that competed? :D

I'm building KeyBot!

[Mike Ciance]

no, any piece that has been on a robot, is on a robot, or would commonly be found on a robot can be used. try not to use general things like screws though :rolleyes:

Okay I'm doing this again because my evil friend afflictionblade said no screws...so I have to use something else...my object...a gluestick! (c'mon, i have nothing in this house)

A ref's flag (rumored to have been used by the great Andy Baker) from IRI 2002 (does this count? :p)

katie reynolds

[evulish]

Now type it with the entire robot.. Difficulty: no human interaction.

[Dorienne]

To Katie:
The funny thing..in the first one..
I hardly see any letters in your username! *laughs* It's funny.
I even used a gluestick (c'mon, i have nothing robotics related in my home) and I did pretty bad! oy.

That's why you have a caps locks button.
Funny story - When I was younger I hated using the Shift key to make capital letters so I would turn on the caps locks key, type a letter, and then turn off the caps locks key... :rolleyes: Anyone else ever do that??


Anyways.

With a Clear cover from a Bud Industries Project Box:

Too easy... And I regressed to my old style of typing capital letters to do those capital letters. :yikes:

I used to do that as well. In fact, i didn't even know there was another way until someone watching me type commented on it. It was kind of embarrasing. After that,however, I never really had trouble adjusting to the new way.

[Mike Ciance]

when i first began typing, i only used 2 fingers... wait a minute, I STILL DO!!!!! :ahh:

I use my index fingers for the letter and punctuation keys, my ring fingers for the shift and CTRL and ALT....that's it.
