Well Tim, Unless you are familliar with the robot concept named BEAM I surely understand why you have a hard time seeing the coolness of my robot - Unfortunately its a bit to much to try and explain the whole thing here but if you like simple robots just google "BEAM robots" and soon you will know why some people find it cool.

Thanks for commenting anyway.

Fore more details on this, google cre.ations - choose art and then choose sculpture - you should be able to find it there.

Well... It's just a trembler motor with a rubber pulley from an old casette drive mounted as a flywheel, It has a needel mounted offset where to the wings is attached thus making them flap.

Very Kool. Very Very Kool! Someday when we learn how to build things that fly like insects and birds we will truly make the great leap. But this is great for what it represents right now! Thank you for sharing.

I think this bot uses a series of gear for move his wings :)

Very nice ^^

that is too cool; did you use inductance for the wing flapping?
