Hello world, have you seen the blobtown yet??

3 06 2008

Let me introduce you to the brand new blobtown!!!!!

 

So it’s been a couple of days since the opening day, which I would say pretty a successful one. Especially, little kids loved it and everyone just wanted to climb on it and sit on it.

Special tribute to blob town citizens

24 05 2008

To my esteemed colleague, 

I would like to take this opportunity to reflect upon our successes, and look forward towards new goals. With these new goals we will be equipped to reach ever higher in the world of robotic arm design and success. together, with your support, I believe we can achieve our goal. In the short term we shall strive for accuracy, not only in the color of the blob’s skin, but in making sure that no blob gets only half of the cuts it deserves. every blob we cut today shall not be left on the floor by the bathroom to slowly descend into the slums of the blobtown and be a stain on blob society. Rather, every blob we pass through this shop shall have both of it’s sides cut, and all chances to sing in unison with the fellow members of the Blobwall Pavilion. The harmony of the blobwall will grow better with every well prepared blob it accumulates; and this c-lu is our goal for you and me today. 
In the larger picture, our goal is to run for mayor and vice mayor of blobtown, and pass laws allowing more 214s to immigrate to our town. We will also befriend and unite with neighboring blob walls of different color families. 

Best of luck in achieving these goals. 
Together we can make change.

 

This message was endorsed by michelle paul for mayor of blobtown.

In between assembly day2 and day 3…

Ben was on his way to return the uHaul truck… and of course the truck broke down in the middle of the street… :)

Assembly Day 2:

21 05 2008

Ben and I picked up our third batch of bricks from C-Pak, so while we had the uHaul truck we moved all the cut bricks to sci-Arc. Gallery space is getting tight with more pink blobby bricks and the assembly team has more bricks now to work with.

UPdate on the robot:

19 05 2008

Amazing Andreas fixed the robot! just needed some rest i guess… don’t we all. :) 





oh boy: Just happened…

18 05 2008

So since we were a bit behind our cutting schedule, we didn’t let the robot to have any weekend: of course, mr. robot broke down when we need it the most… Hopefully, it’ll get fixed soon! 

 

 





Fun Fact behind our blob brick:

4 05 2008

When we visited Machineous a couple of days ago, the brick below was sitting at Andreas’ office.

It is the initial brick mold that Greg created, which was covered with all kinds of codes and signs that locate certain points. What is this made out of? Low density polyethylene which is recyclable! It is the same material used in shampoo bottles that we see in everyday life. Because the polyethylene shrinks a bit, no brick is identical!
