As part of my Christmas haul,·my wife got me a·wonderful book about a fictional robot built in 1893. Lots of well-done "photos" and illustrations by a graphic novelist showing·Boilerplate charging into WWI battles, hanging out with Nikola Tesla, Pancho Villa &·Teddy Roosevelt, and generally saving the day. Now I'll have to add building a Boilerplate robot (Stamp-based, of course) to my "To Do" list. http://www.bigredhair.com/boilerplate/index.html

    erco,

    They had a review of "Boilerplate" in the latest issue of Robot Magazine. Might have to pick up a copy for my coffe table.

    Regards,
    TCIII

    Thanks, Tom. That's what I get for letting my subscription lapse. I'll take the fifth and blame the twins...

    Cool erco. Make it big enough to carry the new babies, too.
