Toss It!: The Instructables Robot Paper Airplane; Classic. by GorillazMiko
Contest Winner
Ahh.... the paper airplane. Did you know, paper airplanes have a long history? Paper airplanes are very old, and they were made for many generations, done by many of our ancestors. They stretch back as far as 600 B.C., done by cavemen. Yes, they used leaves, and they got big ones to stretch to paper size, and they would make these classic paper airplanes to fly to places such as Los Angeles, Hollywood, even New York, just to see the Statue of Liberty. But now, I have took things up a notch. Here is an Instructable on how I let the Instructables Robot go for a ride on a plane. Have fun Instructables Robot, be sure to write and/ or send pictures!

P.S. I am not responsible for you getting punched in the face by somebody at school telling them that cavemen made paper airplanes, getting papercuts (and dying because of loss of blood), or getting poked in the eye, or burning yourself SOMEHOW, or getting attacked by a dinosaur.

Thanks to Firebert010 for the airplane design, same with T-Man for the same design posted a few days earlier. I already knew how to make this airplane, but I have to give credit because you guys did post the model before me.

Thanks to both of you!

Have fun flying your airplanes!

I would recommend saving the Robot images on a Word document and uploading it here. In some cases, such as with my computer setup, it's much easier to print off a Word document than an image.

I have my own computer, but to print, I have to email it to myself or save it to a flash drive, then take it upstairs to my mom's laptop, then muck my way through Vista crap to pull up the file, then I get to print.

Or, when it comes out, get a copy of Windows 7.  I'm using the Beta version, and it's not so bad.
jillg says: Dec 22, 2008. 8:08 PM

Mattrox says: Jun 16, 2008. 12:46 PM

Noodle93 says: Mar 9, 2008. 4:08 AM

Vista = CameronSS, this is a sign.

GET WINDOWS XP.

jamez03 says: Jun 20, 2009. 6:47 PM
windows is awsome
CameronSS says: Mar 11, 2008. 9:37 PM
MY computer is running XP SP2, and I have no intention of changing it. When it becomes obsolete, I'll reformat the HDD and install Ubuntu, making a much faster machine than the then-standard Windows Vista: Reloaded computers. Mom's is the only computer that runs Vista. I have a Lenovo running XP, and my dad and sister have an iMac and a MacBook, respectively, both running OS X Tiger.

I have a tri-boot XP, Vista and Ubuntu. Vista just sucks, and I use XP but recently, I messed it up, so I now use Ubuntu instead.
Jahoovi says: Aug 12, 2008. 10:03 AM
i had vista and it always started up really slow. Like if i want to start the internet once i log into my computer, i would have to w8 about 3 min for it to start up. XP
Gjdj3 says: Mar 21, 2008. 2:06 PM
I have my computer dual booting ubuntu and xp. its pretty easy to set up if you google it.
tech-king says: Mar 19, 2008. 4:44 PM
your moms computer has caught the deadly and largely incurable vista virus?. im sorry to hear that. i suggest alternative remedies, like exorcism.
bumpus says: Mar 24, 2008. 1:06 PM
hey what happens when you don't pay for your exorcism? you get re-possessed
CameronSS says: Mar 19, 2008. 4:50 PM
Or reformatting the hard drive when she's not looking...
tech-king says: Mar 21, 2008. 7:40 AM
that does not work. once you catch vista virus, your soul is the possesion of microsoft. only exorcisme can save you.

Or a thread from Steve Jobs' turtleneck.
CameronSS says: Dec 21, 2008. 8:11 PM
Also cures cancer.
jillg says: Dec 22, 2008. 8:10 PM
or... you could switch to linux, ... but ya didn't hear it from me!
orangesrhyme says: Dec 27, 2008. 11:13 AM
Linus Torvalds would be proud of you. I forgot about its awesomeness when my lappy died.
jillg says: Dec 29, 2008. 7:09 PM
yeah... i have a mac and i don't even think about safari anymore, firefox is just wayyy better. i will probably get crucified by apple for saying that though.
Antleredguy says: Aug 28, 2009. 11:27 PM
I like Firefox but Safari is sooo much faster for me... But I do use Firefox on my PC because it is hugely better than IE
sora005 says: Apr 10, 2010. 6:25 PM
 i use crome and love it
orangesrhyme says: Dec 29, 2008. 9:58 PM
Naw, I know hundreds of apple users who prefer firefox or opera above safari. Steve is probably included in that demographic.
Firfox+ubiquity extension=rock.
jillg says: Dec 30, 2008. 8:33 PM
probably is
orangesrhyme says: Dec 30, 2008. 9:23 PM
You sound doubtful of my nerdliness.
Chappers247 says: Aug 23, 2009. 5:42 AM
if you cut along the back the wings and then fold them down to fly it turn it upside down , grip it and throw upwards It should "loop the loop"
Gjdj3 says: Mar 21, 2008. 2:05 PM
