Looking better than mine, it's not made from an ikea box, looks flat and doesn't have the best part of a roof joist to keep it stiff.

It was only cardboard and various colour tape.It had a pneumatic flipper(mechanism from an old jumping spider toy)! :D

Actually, I did once enter a cardboard robot just to prove that point, and it made the top 16, if not the top 8, at the AWS. I'd gladly do it again! :D
