CouchBotato Building Instructions
I have uploaded 115 images that contain the building instructions for the CouchBotato.
You can find Step1 starting here.
UPDATE: The purpose of the CouchBotato is silly - for ROBOT magazine, I wrote about a silly desire to have a bot that would roll out and get a bag of potato chips sitting about 10 feet from my couch. I programmed it to use the Sound sensor to determine Left/Right directions and to stop and close the claws around the bag.

You have this on Flickr, right? (That's not a file, but good enough for those who want to download the pics one by one).
Brickshelf would also require me uploading 110 photos and that's not something I really want to do if I can avoid it.

Notice how, on the upload page, it says, "Zip files will be automatically unzipped without sub directories". Maybe this means you could just upload the zip file, and it will automatically be unzipped, putting the pictures in the folder?

P.S. I have a free, limited, uploading space (came with my e-mail address), and if other things don't work I could probably just upload it to there...

This is from the retail kit, right?
Can it turn? (If so, looks like its turning radius is about eighty feet). :)

I built it from the retail kit and used up ALL of the black connectors and (I think) all of the white beams. I used all the sensors and motors and just tried to go crazy.

Shoot me an email when you get a chance...

I can't believe people (especially as they said, people in the lego community) would act like this! Poe and David spent so much time putting together a spectacular website, and some people are mad because they charge $6 for it! If they wanted it for free, I'd suggest they make it themselves (and give it to everyone else for free), instead of trash-talking the RIF.
All in all, I feel very sorry for Poe and David. They made a great attempt to give us a lot of fun, and were rudely awarded with complaints because there was a small fee.
