The other day I was watching the morning news when a story was aired about Elon Musk's new Tesla-Bot, a human sized/shaped AI robot.
The Tesla company stated that the unit would be capable of performing those mundane, repetitive, time-consuming tasks that we humans would rather not do ourselves.
This got me to pondering about how such a device could be put to use in the realm of model rocketry.
Let's see....what model rocket building operation could possibly be classified as mundane or repetitive? Or time-consuming?
Cutting out parts? No.
Gluing on fins? Nope.
Painting? Not really.
Applying decals? Nyet.
Building parachutes? Maybe.
Wait a minnit! What about filling and sanding balsa wood grain?
Yeah, that's the one !!!
I think we can all agree that this interminable task is number one on the list of model rocket building procedures that could use a good dose of automation.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and in my off-beat world, a cartoon is worth a thousand pictures.
So, me being me, here goes...
