    I'm an HXT900 man myself, thanks. I've modded a few for CR and am getting proficient at it!

    Halfway there! Hope to have this working by next weekend. I didn't say finished, just working. Real robots are never finished.

    This makes me feel so much better about some of my projects. I often get them working, but never feel like I finished them. It's often why I revist a robot later and make major modifications, because there's something that needs improvement.

    Just saw this robot horse kit. Only 4 legs, but it has a definite Theo vibe to it.

    The twins like their solar-powered Theo-style Pegasus, and bedecked the chariot with flowers. Built from this $10 Ebay kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151074705957

    $5.08 now: http://www.ebay.com/itm//282404994531

    Three years later, one-third the price! I hope the cost of college education follows this trend.

    Move to NY. They just announced that all residents would get a free education at state supported schools.
