How to build a Download-Bot
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
a while ago i posted images of my download-bots. this december my parents used them as their xmas-tree decoration.
now i have written some instruction to enable my dear reader to build his own download-bot - prefereably while downloading a big file.
i use 2 strip of wood one 2cm x 4cm, and the second one 1cm x 0.5cm
- cut a 2 cm long block from the bigger strip for the head
- cut a 4.5cm long pice from the bigger strip for the body
- cut 4 2.5cm long pices from the smaller strip for arms and feet
- cut a 1 cm long pice from the smaller pice for the nec
- now glue the pices together following the instruction graphic bellow.
- put 2 pins into the head as antennas
- and finally draw a funny face on the head block
é voilà - a download-bot!
i really would like to see a comment if you have build your own bot

Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
Some while ago i made downloadbots from a block of wood while waiting for a longer download.
i wanted to test the "noLoop()" function from processing, so i did a digital version of them

UPDATE: I posted some building instructions for Download-Bots
i just started a lengthy download and had to kill some time so i started to build some toy-robots for my kids.
it took me aproxymatly 90 mb to build 2 robots
so while downloading my next ubuntu cd 1 could build 12 of them and while downloading the iphone sdk i could make another 48! An army of little robots! World donimation! muaaahahaha!
