Mark - I wasn't suggesting a backyard. Your bedroom suggestions seem highly appropriate to me.

I like the idea of a retro-style toy robot. My sketches relate to the idea that the robot must look like it is capable of actually moving the scrabble piece somehow.

Jens - the forest sounds like a great time. Have fun! Here's an idea for you: When away, collect the 'colours' of the place. Do so by collecting little amounts of some leaves, soil, pebbles, grass, bark etc. When you return home create a colour pallet of the colours of your trip. It will help you to remember the trip when you are senile. No doubt you'll then sometime find them useful before that in a project and that project will have greater significance for you. As well you could share the colours with all your friends here at the forums.

Regards, Ross
