Saturday cute: robots made from junk by soldier in Afghanistan

From Fast Company:

Private First Class Rupert Valero is currently stationed at Khandahar, Afghanistan, and to fill his spare time, he builds toys out of recycled materials. They capture a wonderful mix of imagination, whimsy, and craftiness, and they rank way up there with awesome upcycled goods.

I like this one a lot, too:

It seems sort of sad.

Some of Valero’s robots are available for sale on Etsy.

(Got a photo or image that’s adorable and at least vaguely pop-culture related? Found such a photo online? Send a link or an image, and I might post it!)

share and enjoy
