Raker bot


Raker bot is a rake for RC vehicles.
It is attached like a goose neck trailer.
I made this because I thought it would be fun to rake leaves while sitting down.


This is a close up of Raker bot.


Two motors move the rear axle up and down, raising and lowering the rake. 


This is a movie of the wheels lifting and lowering.




These are movies of Raker bot raking leaves.

The Monday morning QB take

The Eagles are 6-5 with their last win at home (the first win at home for the Eagles in 400 days) against the Redskins who lost the second game to the Eagles 24-16 the Redskins scoring all of their points in the fourth quarter. The Eagles win at Green Bay 27-13 I do believe that the Eagles would not have won the game if the Packers had had Aaron Rodgers out on the field. The replacement QB Seneca Wallace hurt himself running away from the Eagles men. The next QB Scott Tolzien managed to get the Packers down the field then throws an INT. it was hard, but I think that it was just as hard to win against the Redskins with RGIII.  The Eagles are a great team, but if the Chiefs 9-1 (who won the meeting against the Eagles) met the Eagles again the Eagles might win.
