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

pat fairbank

</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!

Re: Type your username with a piece of a robot
 

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:

Re: Type your username with a piece of a robot
 

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

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.

Re: Type your username with a piece of a robot
 

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:

Elgin Clock

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

Re: Type your username with a piece of a robot
 

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.
