Congratulations for your piece of art!

I have to say you had a great taste not only on the design but also the execution of the robot, tidy, well programmed in detail and very funny presentation.

We usually enjoy here many DiY robos that are nice and funny, but your project is superb!

Did you do it for fun or as part of your job?

Good!

 

Ah ok! I took several months as you see in its website during the weekends, but it looks very professional. I though you made it to do a kickstarter and make fortune! :slight_smile:

What do you do for work? I couldn’t see anything in your profile here…

making a fortune while

making a fortune while playing with robots sounds tempting…but I guess that wont make a living. For that I need to work as a Software Architect

Living is a fortune

 

Well Jochen, you are not alone with robotics as a hobby, but hey, probably you like most of your job, and besides you have also a funny hobby, what else? :wink: Enjoy and let’s make robots! :slight_smile:

Another great project,

Another great project, Jochen!

Well done. Should be shown in high schools to raise robot abuse awareness.

Don’t bully the bots!
