DIY: My Dad Is A Robot Mechanic

My Dad Is A Robot Mechanic

I knew all of those Make Magazine gift subscriptions for my Father would finally pay off.  He made a Robot (Make Magazine Volume 21) for me which was unveiled last night via Skype! As soon as I get tired of cuddling with it it's going on our fireplace mantel.  I have a request in for a dozen more.  Two words: ROBOT ARMY!  Did I mention that the arms move?  Righteous!  Thanks, Dad!

Music: Robotic French Space Disco Inspired By Star Wars (1977)



From Dangerous Minds:

Inspired by the 1977 release of Star Wars, Yves Hayat (synthesizers and sequencers) formed Droids along with Richard Lornac on keyboards and Jean-Paul Batailley on drums and tablas. Two of the guys performed the single “(Do You Have) The Force” on French TV in 1977 dressed as robots—which could explain the Daft Punk comparison. Star Peace came out a year later, and then the Droids were out. The LP is sought after for its kitsch appeal but also killer electronics and good vibes.

Art: Broken Circuits by Brutte Krester



But it was just like we were programmed with entirely different codes.

Robot love is hard work!
