:D I got a MAKE the FIRST YEAR (autographed) boxed set of 4 zines, and a 1 year sub to SciFi mag! :D !!

Wow!! Sweeeet!

The SciFi mag has Chuck in it… coool!!

That made my day! Definitely worth paying the $30 for shipping. At least I got a prize!! (Remember: I wasn’t even eligible to enter this competition) =P!

So yeah… my robot (MANOI, with the Arduino-SSC-32 to Processing program) WAS working, now it isn’t. I’m not entirely sure what I changed :X! Debugging again and again…

This week’s Friday Night MANOI was dedicated to the Cylon contest on MAKE. Since I only found out about it on Tuesdayish, and the deadline is pretty soonish, I had to come up with something QUICK. I have a humanoid, MANOI, and I do have artistic skills… so I came up with Paper Cylon!

Why Paper Cylon, though? Remember Paper Mario? That game was so uber cool, and fun. What if there were Paper Cylons? That would be pretty funny. Although what I made will be improved on later dates, I think it may hit the nail on the head for random creativity. :)


I took lots of photos, I like Paper Cylon!


The head is on! Lookin gooooooood! Saweeeet! Yow ^_^ The full body! From behind Wooooo! This camera blur makes Cylon look so awesome Cylon making sand angels! Fwoosh! Cylon is fast!
