My Bot - Surveillance 101

 I recently built my own stationary wall-mounted one to record a party we held in our home.  As you can see, it doesn't look like much, but it is capable of rotation on the Z axis, and tilt on the Y axis.  It is secured to a coat rack with rubber bands, and stabilized with rubber wheels.  The camera, (not shown in pictures,) is just a web cam which rests on the top of the robot.  Live video from the camera is passed through the usb cord into a computer which stores the data for further use.  The program for Surveillance was very simple because I had only an hour to build it.  It ran two loops; one controlling the tilt, and the other, the rotation.

Ok folks, the plans for the great fire shooting machine have been found. King Armendon's mechanics have built the "tank" as it is called in the plans, and I now present it to you (quite informally.) For the details on how this was achieved, I have started writing out all the events that took place between the invasion and now, and publishing them in the Legoton Press.
