The cardboard boxes are piling up in my son’s room. Plastic cups and stray wires reach ever higher. We dream of building a magnificent team, standing by ready for the rescue in case of alien invasion.

We are now working our top creation yet, designed to be our first Guymeloff/Mecha/Robosuit bot with robots within the robots. Stay tuned.
