SOmeone please tell me I can move this through a door. I can't take it apart.

It's worth it at the end though. Just looking at what I've made makes me happy.

What kind of hobbies do you have then?

[seeker]

i hike. my dad and i go fishing...
and um, i used to build robots. don't know if i'd call that a "hobby," though.

[starfruitfrog]

Hiking? That sounds really
healthy?? Do you really like nature then?

AND DID YOU SAY ROBOTS
That's cool! Did you build fighting robots?!

[seeker]

ha. i guess you could say that.
i never built fighting robots. practical things...for the most part. once i programmed an rc car to operate itself.

[starfruitfrog]

Oh

That's still cool though! It sounds like it must have been difficult.

[seeker]

ah, it wasn't too bad. nothing compared to making a bigger rig. just a matter of creating a neural network and...

uh. ok maybe it was kind of difficult
a fighting robot would be a little easier if it were radio controlled.
i don't know about an autonomous one. it's possible, of course. sticking to toys for something like that is safer. a giant, self-thinking combat machine would be a bad idea on all sides.

now i'm thinking about trying this. the smaller, kid-friendly version,
that is

[starfruitfrog]

Well they have made movies about how bad an idea that would be. The giant ones, especially if they fall in with a villain of some sort.

A tiny one would be nice though. And fighting robots are always pretty popular with kids right? I liked them back when I was a kid too.

[seeker]

i'd never considered being a toymaker...
but i'll give it a shot. it should be fun to try, at least. i need to practice anyway.
i've gotten rusty.

[starfruitfrog]

Really? Why not?

Show me when you're done, okay?

[seeker]

the short version of a long story is that I found something that suited me better.

sure. if i can make something functional, i'll let you know.

[starfruitfrog]

That's still a good thing. It's great when you find something that suits you and that you like, right?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!
