Any love for #BattleBots on Masto? Here is a glamor shot of my three pound robot "Snaggletooth", a wedge with a lifting arm made to look like a crocodile. All robots must have a power indication light for safety reasons so on this robot Snaggletooth's eyes light up red. Snaggletooth has one title to its name, a win in Beaumont, TX in 2020 where it claimed first place!
Snaggletooth was a big hit with the audience who loved the colorful theming. There was a kiddo in the crowd who was celebrating his birthday that day so I affixed one of Snaggletooth's battle damaged decorative teeth to a little metal plaque and signed it for him. :)
Interesting. This is a local folklore, similar to Aesop's Fables, that has been translated into 111 languages.
"The Mousedeer and the Crocodiles:
A Malaysian Folktale in 111 Languages
[...]
To celebrate the University of Malaya's 111th anniversary members of the Faculty of Language and Linguistics, their colleagues and friends have compiled this multilingual version of a popular Malaysian folk tale."
