ROBOT HEAD

I'm working hard on the big head. The thing really is a robot - the functions just happen to be controlled with threaded steel rods instead of electronics. Its getting more and more complicated - there's a huge nest of cables coming out the back, and quite a criss-crossing of guy wires holding the thing in place. On a project like this, there's a point where things can get so complicated and begin to affect other funtions in unpredictable ways that the whole thing ceases to work. Hopefully it won't get to that point.

I'm also working with fiberglass and resin. I had forgotten how annoying the stuff is to work with.

Total days so far on Johanne's Big Head - 5. Estimated hours spent - 30.

I'll post some pictures of the thing soon.
