Friday Fun: Ziggy vs The dryer

For a few years during the mid 00's there was an event held annually in Florida where competitors would bring homemade fighting robots to do battle. It looks like it was a fairly interesting event. I found the video below that features Ziggy, one of the super heavyweight class of robots, putting the hurt on a dryer. The video says it is washer, but its really a dryer. Regardless of that, here is some fun appliance destruction to wrap up your week. Have a fun weekend!

Fun Friday: Toy Washing Machines

Have you ever gone online looking for something and ended up finding something else? Something totally different that is useless, but interesting? That happened to me recently. I found that there a lot of different operating toy washing machines for dollhouses and such. Now, maybe this is common knowledge but it was news to me and I found it interesting enough to share. There are a lot of different (and sometimes quite realistic) machines that have been made over the years. This guy featured on the Farm Collector website has a HUGE collection. Make sure to check out the gallery slideshow that features some of the rarer antiques in his collection. When I found that, I also found this YouTube video of another collection that looks like it features some newer examples.

Now as these internet adventures go, one thing leads to another and I found this odd, but kind of cute video of a Furby meeting up with a washing machine.

I thought I reached the limit of toy washing machine strangeness when I stumbled upon this (Chinese?) video.

Well, that's enough playing with toys. Time to help some folks get some appliances working again. Have a great weekend everybody!
