Once again Spy and Q are in their underground engineering lab working on their fledgling skills to take over the world using robots.

This time, they’ve actually managed to animate their creation. Spy did the design work and and Q provided the labor.

Up from the cellar come Spy and Q (safety glasses shoved onto their foreheads) with this joint creation:

With all the appropriate mechanical creaky sounds, his arms MOVE!

The arm on the right sports a toothpaste gun.

Inside beats a red light indicating a connection to the remote control which Q uses to control each arm’s movement separately.

And those glowing green eyes? Here’s a view from the top.

Next time, plans are to make the robot walk.

The Spy and Q spend most of their free time building and playing with Lego. The other weekend, they built a little Wall-e. And then they went nuts. At peak, 20 robots were counted. An entire army. There were Wall-e transport vehicles, boats, planes… an entire compound.

Meet their leader:

The compound came complete with a night club including a hot tub, a bar (drinks & food), and a dance floor with flashing lights. You know, so the robots can relax after their missions. (Which begs the question: How do my children know about night clubs?)

Where did the flashing light come from? It turns out they pulled apart one of those bouncy balls with a pressure activated light in the middle. Q discovered that the light could be activated by completing the circuit using Spy’s tongue.  Q doesn’t care for the mild shock involved, but Spy doesn’t seem to mind.
