I’m super late writing about this cool project I received and completed in November. \u00a0In May, I found out about the Kickstarter campaign for Kinetic Creatures<\/a>. \u00a0Kinetic Creatures are three different animals created out of cardboard that have the capability to “walk” either via a hand crank or a motor kit that was also available. \u00a0When one of these animals happened to be a rhino…I had to contribute (and receive my reward of one of the first kits).<\/p>\n

As the Kickstarter campaign was meant to raise funds for larger (and cost effective) production, my kit didn’t arrive until mid October. \u00a0The packaging was nicely designed:<\/p>\n

\"Kinetic<\/p>\n

The first part I decided to put together was the motor kit:<\/p>\n

\"Kinetic\u00a0\"Kinetic<\/p>\n

Here is the kit put together (ready to go in Rory once he is put together):<\/p>\n

\"Kinetic<\/p>\n

As for Rory…he came in pieces. \u00a0Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the cardboard sheets before I punched them out. \u00a0But here is a picture of all of the pieces before I put them together:<\/p>\n

\"Rory<\/p>\n

And here he is put together:<\/p>\n

Now that both the motor kit and Rory was put together, it was time to let him take a little walk around the apartment.<\/p>\n
