Robots in poses
Definitely not a scene from The Matrix (1999).
Three robots in various different poses. your guess is as good as mine. Maybe breakdancing, maybe flying.
Can I afford to use metal washers as scoring markers? I dunno I’m playing around. I drew my caution area black lines with blue tape and a sharpie, this isn’t high brow stuff just yet.
Dummy-13 models pictured flat on the table. The white model at the far left is complete, a pink one in the middle is in five or six chunks and a final green one on the right is completely in like 50 separate pieces.
