Day 15: Clash of the Titans / Appetite for Construction

Robot tragedy struck today in the Cain household. It came completely out of the blue....


Alpha Rex was standing guard outside the house, always watchful for dangerous intruders. The air was still, too still.

The snow, blinding his ultra sonic sensors, helped to provide camouflage for the attacker that Rex never realised was approaching until it was too late:

"Roooarrr"

Yes, the dreaded Roboraptor was upon us. Presumably after our stores of robot chickens, this robot dinosaur was determined to get in. The hour of Rex's last stand had come, man to man robot to robot, toe to toe, a fight to the death.


Obviously I don't want to show the graphic images. Oil was spilt, the snow was scattered with bricks and plastic. Alpha Rex saved the Cains but sacrificed his life in the process. Alpha Rex, we salute you...

Alpha Rex, 10.01.2010 - 15.01.2010, a brave robot.

Now, with Rex gone, we obviously have to get on with our lives. Therefore Denis and I have started project R2D2. Our prototype can be seen hanging out with some pals below:

Bet you can't guess which R2D2 is which can you? Thought not!
