Robot!

Here's a robot I built not to long ago.  He's a Graymark Scrambler, a copy of a kit Dad and I built nearly 20 years ago.  I made all the plastic frame bits myself because I didn't like the color of the included pieces.  He doesn't work right though.  The was it is supposed to work is that he walks until he senses an object, then turns.  The sensor is optical, and doesn't seem to have enough range/sensitivity, so he doesn't turn far enough and ends up angling into the wall and getting stuck.  He was still fun to build though.
