The guys at Le Club du Golf would love this Tin Can Robot Kit. It’s really cold and boring in my part of the country and Le Club du Golf activities have generally regressed into yelling and throwing beer cans at the televisions. By providing a kit for every one of the bois, we can race our old beer cans around the club instead. The robot jitters and buzzes and clacks, just like the guys!
