I decided that should it be there when I finish work then I will fish it out of the rubbish and take it home. As luck would have it, it was still there and I really struggled to carry it whilst riding my fold up bike but I managed it and now my arms are hurting as it’s a little on the big and heavy side.

It is based on a very simple idea and comprises of very few components. I think projects with Charlie are best kept as simple as possible as he likes to touch everything he sees.

Let’s start off by drawing the all important robot.

With the use of a breadboard, the circuit is quick and easy to assemble.

Charlie loves his robot but actually he’s loving science but don’t tell him will you.

There were about an hour and a half of short films in total with two intervals for us all to chat, eat and invent the perfect pizza.

It’s difficult with my memory to remember all the films that were shown but there were a couple I really enjoyed. Little Tombstone being one of them.

After the films, a mighty fine chilly was dished out to all and I really enjoyed chatting with the other attendees over the food. Although catching up with an old familiar face in the form of Ev, it was great to meet some new and creative people who made me feel very welcome indeed. I will be definitely making the trip out there again soon.

I’m not really sure where I go from here though it is something I still want to pursue, so watch this space.
