OK, a quick sidebar discussion for a moment. I have seen lots of fabricated items on robots this season that have been altered, built, cast, constructed, concocted, created, cut, heat treated, machined, manufactured, modified, painted, produced, and/or surface coated. But has anyone actually been able to conjure up a part for their robot? If you have, can we borrow your wizard?
