Description: This bot used to be a symet, but didn't satisfy my expectations. It would just twitch in little circles, traveling about a centimeter a day. So, before I tested its flight capabilities, I decided to turn the poor cripple into something it already did: sit there! So he is now a flag waver. He sits happily on my dresser corner spinning away every 3 seconds or so in the morning sunlight.
Sorry, but I don't have any pictures as of yet.  I'm trying to get a hold of a digital camera or scanner to post them.
