At the moment I'm living in Bangkok, Thailand. Its a 3rd world country, but people still do robots here. You just gotta find them =P

Hah, I was hoping to find a good video of my baby! This one turned out great!

Although it was a lot of fun to build and a major crowd pleaser, I did decommission The Brave Little Toaster after RG'09.

Yes, it's main weapon (only weapon) is the flamethrower. The first few seconds are best because the butane comes out as a liquid. After that the liquid butane level in the tank is lower and gaseous butane comes out, producing the smaller more poofy flame.

Thanks again for posting the video. ^_^
