The Schweebler
"Eureka" Joe cried as he put the finishing touches to his bot, two LED's,
one blue and one green as eyes.
Joe stepped back to admire his work.
The Scweebler was quite arachnid in apearence, it had eight legs, all of
which ended in scutter hands/heads. It also had two arms, which also ended
in scutter hands/heads, each hand held a linear accelerator cannon which
were loaded with beanbags, a compartment on the back of the bot contained
extra beanbag ammo which was fed into the cannons when they were empty. On
the back of the Schweebler was a catapult like device which held a glue
grenade, another compartment on the robot held the extra grenades which were
automatically loaded onto the catapult when it was empty. It had a large
spherical head which contained most of the curcuits for the movement and
weapon controls and had the two flashing LED's on it to add to the effect.
"Now all i have to do is test it" Joe said to himself as he picked up the
controls.
The bot walked around the room and then turned to face the door.
Joe quickly tapped one of the red buttons on the controller six times, and
six beanbags shot out of the cannons at a frightening speed and impacted
with a loud thud on the door, making several large dents, three of the
beanbags hit the door in exactly the same place and the dent here was almost
a hole.
"One more will probably punch through" Joe thought and decided to test his
theory, he pressed one of the red buttons again, realised he had pushed the
wrong one, and watched in horror as the catapult flung a glue grenade in his
direction, it rolled to a stop by his feet.
Anybody walking past Joe's room at that point would have heard a lound
squelchy sounding explosion followed by the sounds of a very annoyed man,
cursing very loudly.
Joe stood in his room covered with glue, he tried to move and couldn't, he
was stuck fast, he looked about his quarters, everything he owned was
covered with glue.
"Great" said Joe, "Holly"
"Hello dude" said Holly, and then burst out laughing when he saw the mess
Joe was in. "Seems like you've gotten yourself into a rather 'Sticky'
situation"
"Thanks Hol, but enough of the Richard Whitely style puns, could you get
someone to come and help me please."
"I'll see what i can do" said Holly, still laughing as hi face faded from
the monitor.
<Someone help me....please>
OOC - you will probably get this one twice, and you might want to check it,
just in case i missed out anything important, but i don't think i did.
