Yeah, the Attacknids/Combat Creatures are the ones designed by Jamie Mantzel. He's still a bit nutty but made enough money off the deal to head to Costa Rica and was planning to buy an island to live on with his girlfriend and kids. I don't think he ever bought the island but he's building a big houseboat now:

Kookaburas are completely fearless from what I've seen of them.

I've been chilling on my verandah and a Kookaburra was chased by a Bower Bird straight between my arms. They're afraid of things but stuff they're not afraid of they're *really* not afraid of.

When you spend your entire life in the Australian bush, a giant mostly-hairless pink thing isn't going to be anywhere near the top of your list of worries.

The flipside; Kookaburas are fearless because there aren't really many large native predators that'd be going after it.

Yeah he finished the giant robot before he left the country, it runs at about 6 minutes in on this video. It took him quite a long time to translate the hexapod leg system he designed into big aluminum format but he took a lot of breaks to design toy versions and everything:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IECBj8v60Wk

He also did a scaled up version of the toy with a skeletal frame all 3d printed out (runs around 3 minutes into the video):

It's not cute animal pictures but I think a guy who just likes to do his own thing successfully doing that is pretty uplifting, so I think it fits in the thread. He seems to have endless drive and motivation to do projects.

For I am a cat, you see.
I hope all you goons are having a great day! I just wanted to say everyone in this thread is awesome and I love visiting this thread every day to make me smile. :allears:

For content, a few months back an itty bitty kitten too young to be away from it's mother appeared outside of my grandma's house. She already has several (adult) strays but this was the only kitten we found. My brother-in-law named him Bashful because the kitten was super skittish and wouldn't come to anyone but him. He's still wary of people but not to the degree he was when he was tiny. My brother-in-law goes over there all the time to make sure the kitten is fed and takes him regularly to the vet.

Here is a picture I took of him today. He is so happy and healthy and has the most amazing eyes.

Dog, what are you doing? Get away from there.
You don't even have thumbs.
That is the most beautiful, cleanest, handsomest stray cat I have ever laid eyes on. :swoon: Thanks for sharing his picture and hug your BIL for me.

Happy Valentine's!
