Rattle Can Makeover

Impatiently awaiting my Dremel from Amazon, I made an executive decision that Clocky’s bright orange motif had to go. Clocky already had some big rims; sort of like my SS. Sort of too like my Yukon. Hmm…black and chrome…sort of a no-brainer.

Step 1: teardown / spray paint

Much better. Hoping to have the little guy rotary-drilled and souped-up before too long. Check back in soon.

srsly sry to the point of making an apologetic, aggressive, lightening-bolts-out-the-ass, image to show my deep, deep regret for my laziness.

I realized that I have approximately nine posts sitting in my figurative TO DO box. Including the much anticipated stuff regarding soldering the Arduino Motor Shield.

Much anticipated may be a gross overstatement. It will be there, and we can judge at that point. Srsly.

Not Pictured: Button

What is that under my finger? A BAD ASSED BUTTON!

I’m going to have this robot up and rolling in no time. Everyone knows that every robot needs at least one button…the fricking kill switch. For, in case, said robot gains sentience and tries to kill the creator. And I’m not going down by robot death. Skin cancer, maybe, but no death by robot.
