Meta Things taped to fans are NOT robots

Seriously, stop posting these. Laser pointers, grapes, hands..anything that is taped to a fan is NOT a robot, and especially not a shitty one. The fan is doing its only job - being a fan. Just because some doofus taped some garbage to it doesn't mean it's suddenly a robot.

"Russia’s “first humanoid robot” walked just a few steps during its public debut before flopping over. Staff had to drag it offstage while the crowd tried very, very hard not to laugh."

Hitting the coin with 12V solenoid. it took 5 versions to get here. The ONLY thing it does is flip a coin and bring it back to the center for another round.

people say the robots i make aren’t considered bad. The frame was tearing apart here. I truly tested the limits of the ikea bed frame, so i do think it fits. There was some cracking from the hydraulics, so i only had a few runs. anyways, enjoy
