What's more fun than a school project to build your own robot? The same project with a due date during the last week of school before Christmas vacation. *sigh* I didn't even know where to start with Nicky's robot until I came across a Japanese papercraft website that had a 3-D paperfolding robot model. Phew! I blew it up on the postermaker and brought the "blueprints" home.
A little coloring, a little folding, some glitter, a booklight, a few LED lights, two McDonald's toy cars that fit inside the robot's feet as wheels...
And we have the DrakeAndJosh-O-Matic 3000. (Yes, the kids are obsessed with Drake and Josh. It was Saved By the Bell when I was their age.) And we only got to bed at 10:30 the night before it was due. Domo arigato, Japanese paper site.
