I'm glad to see so many upstanding citizens in this picture.

Your T-shirt cannon really has a way of turning the world on its head.

Upload from android seems to put the thumbnail upside down and when you click on it it goes rightside up. Haven't had a computer handy to fix it or the time...

Was the base of your robot modeled after Plowie, our beloved animation robot?

I hope he returns this year.

Not directly but he changed into that after we saw what we had built.

This was, of course, an Australian event, no?

Thanks, but I will always know him as Plowie. Its a much more endearing name.

See the original creator's take on the name. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=12

Great. Now we have to put up with last year's game animators again. You just sent Dozer into the corner moping. Dave would know; I'm not sure how many times he had to coax Dozer out for his annual "uh-oh" *smash* routine after someone called him by the wrong name.

The robot's name is Dozer. Period. Endearing doesn't enter into it. Nobody can actually prevent you from using Plowie as a nickname, but his creator can -- and does -- give authoritative corrections when the wrong name is given.
