Lerryn visited the new Poole location for Dorset scrapstore on Friday (New location for Dorset Scrapstore in Poole), and thought our son Loki would enjoy a visit, maybe getting materials to build a robot with. She described the store to him and his immediate reaction was – build a robot (one track mind) so we visited on Saturday. He loved it and was picking things out left, right and center, imaging what part it could be, how many he’d need. Lerryn suggested the more structural pieces he’d really need and one of the fab assistants found a long length of coiled foil air ducting.
With suitable materials they set to work, Loki dictating the design whilst Lerryn guided him in terms of what would actually work. He’d apparently already worked out how to do the hands when we were in the store – making sure to get exactly ten of the pieces of tubing he’d picked for fingers.
