Here we go. After much goading from the Roto department, Mel, Lori, and his lovely wife, Andy relented and decided to build something. Using that Yankee ingenuity, he rummaged around in his basement and came up with Wally Woabot. Using spare parts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle arms, dismantled and reconfigured hard-drive motors, springs, and a ball of copper wire, Andy's created a masterpiece that not only has two separate power sources (one to run the wheels, one for the spinning arms and bobbing head), but was the first robot completed for the competition! How does he do it?
Oh, yeah, and just for laughs, whenever he needed a distinctly shaped piece of metal that he couldn't find just lying about, he machined it himself.
Jeepers...

This poor robot was robbed. Clearly Wally was Best of Show. How much money changed hands to sway the judges?
