His name is "Stay!"




I'm lucky enough to get a call every so often from the Endress+Hauser Corporation to make something out of their spare parts. They give me full creative license to make pieces that they can give as gifts to related corporations. Challenging? Yes. Fun? No doubt.

This time the parts fit together to form a robot dog who I named "Stay!" I bought a few small connecting pieces, but 95% of him is from a big pile 'o parts that they gave me. 

I should give credit to a Twitter friend, Mike Farrington, for helping me to name him. Thanks Mike!


For those in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, I'll be giving presentations at the Miami University Voice of America Learning Center  this coming Sunday, September 12. Lots of interesting things to see and music to hear from 12 until 4.  I'm very happy to be a part of it all.  It's not too awfully far from the IKEA store, so you can make a big day out of it if the mood strikes you.  Follow the link for more details.

Cute little pet! :-)
How many "gifts" are you supposed to make, just the one or more?
Cool!

Aww... can you make his joystick tail wag?

He is very cool, I love the angles of his back leg you achieved! Makes him look very alert and full of life!

Well done!

Rob said...

Awesome! I was just thinking what Morgan said, the stance of the hind legs makes him seem especially perky.

I love him!! How big is he?

Terry Border said...

Thanks all! He's a little under 2 feet tall.

I made a humanoid character for them a few years ago. I may have one more to make soon.

Bob- I wish I had that kind of technical ability. That would be cool.

I like "Stay". Both the name, and the namesake. Absolutely and wonderfully creative!

That's brilliant :). I saw something on the news last night and thought it might amuse you...
