Robert I'm sorry I knew I recognized your name. Honestly I have been going through an adoption with the state of Washington trying to get my grandson. I got...
I thought the balls were always officially gnip gnop balls... and that they're supposedly a tiny bit smaller than regular ping pong balls (bbi can never use...
Find the older 38mm balls, or I have them. The newer 40mm ones will make it even more crowded in the soapdish. Mike ... finished ... friends!"Yahoo! Groups...
 << Oh, yeah, one other thing. Tonight Joel looked at me and said, "Did you know that Crow's eyes were originally [some word I didn't recognize--something...
Lots of people over the years have gotten all sorts of bad information off Joel and Trace (not purposely.. they just have wonky memories sometimes). For years...
I hate to do this, but ,... It's time to clean out the goodies due to the fact I will be moving abroad shortly. :-/ I am in need of selling my MST3K Bots I...
so... tempting... but... out... of... work... :( Actually, now that I get a good look at the XL7-FG, it seems like it might be a fun project to build replicas....
somebody did that about 50 years ago... i think they ended up costing about $50 and the only uproblem was they would often end up a little lop-sided... Looked...
Wasn't it the guy who did all the model work for Paramount (specifically Star Trek stuff)? Neal actually bought one off ebay a while back and said (IIRC) that...
So, i've seen a few things here and there about how to build a Crow, but I've not yet seen how/where on the bowling pin to cut. It seems like the front is...
There is a template in the files area. Your absolute best bet is to get a couple of cheap bottom injected pin pins (flea market, Toys 'r Us, Walmart) and do...
Noted. The pin I have is a "crown" version, so if it explodes on me, I won't feel as bad. But I entirely get the "work on this slow and patiently" aspect. :)...
While the frame should be easy enough to cast, I can't see any real way to do the net part well besides remaking it by hand. I like Scott's idea of using...
Have any of you motorized your bots? I've been thinking about this for when I build my Crow. I'm going to build it according to all of the awesome plans out...
I've thought about it, mostly because of the chuckles inherent in putting actual servos into Servo, but also because it'd add a whole lot to Tom's prop value....
Was thinking about this further; I wonder if Bill Corbett, Trace Beaulieu, or Kevin Murphy would be up for recording a few sound bytes for a few bucks... like...
Doing a websearch for the clip of Kevin saying "You've got mail", I found that some person is selling Tom Servo talking statues in Second Life.. So if you're a...
Not only is it pretty easy to capture sound clips off episodes, but you could also buy a Rifftrax or two and have hours of MP3 file from which to easily...
Keep in mind, the "official" book is chock full of misinformation and vague references to what you actually need to do to build a bot. It's not a guide, it's...
you couldn't be more wrong. I only remember one real error in the whole book (re: what schedule PVC to use on crow). And it worked great for us vets to...
The book is the equivalent someone asking you how make an omelette and you saying the first step is to create a chicken. The book glosses over a ton of things,...
