Ingenuity

That is the word I gave to B#5 tonight to look up in the dictionary. It describes him to a "T". On any given day you might hear him rummaging through the recyclables for his supplies or hear the sound of duct tape being ripped as he makes something. These are just a few pictures of his inventions.


This robot actually moves forward and backwards using KNEX and a motor.


KNEX are so great...his chainsaw actually moves by using a KNEX motor.


Today he made this camera using cereal boxes, duct tape and a plastic sheet from an overhead projector.



Last night he made this telescope which slides in and out, using a paper towel tube, duct tape and a lens from a magnifying glass. A few weeks ago he made a bolt action rifle out of a wrapping paper tube and he managed to make it where the bolt really moved. I think awhile back I posted a picture of his fire extinguisher made from a soda bottle and his fireman's mask from plastic sheets taped onto paper. We think the Lord may be showing us that engineering might be in his future.
