Ok, so the first attempt didn't go well. It was definitely a learning experience, and spawned creative juices for improvements. I wonder if this is how Davros felt!?!?
Too big to work for a 7 yr old. Prototype 1 - FAIL!
He's upset because we were laughing at him trying to walk, ... although his movements were very close to a real Dalek. Unfortunately our first attmept, (and I knew it would be so) was a failure. Too large for him to manuver stairs.....(elevate?) and no where for him to hold his bag of loot. So it is back to the drawing board....
A valuable learning experience for all of us. I have more ideas, and the next one will be better....maybe even brilliant!
