Olivia vs. the Daleks

So I shot some video this morning of the remote control “Darleks” in action. Hooboy. Y’know, I think I like ’em better when they’re sitting still and being quiet. They don’t have the most powerful drives in the world – they either get “redirected” or just plain stuck in the grout between my kitchen floor tiles. One of them only has one working “head light.” I made rare use of my camera’s infrared feature to try to document just what’s going on with the IR signals between the two Daleks, which is kinda cool. And…of course…Olivia stopped by.

We just couldn’t keep away, now could we?

Olivia sits patiently in the background of the infrared shot.

In fact, the little stinker’s going to wind up in the photos for the finished article! Oh well, that gives it personality…

As you can see, she’s really terrified of the little dustbins.
Also, as promised, the Hearst automated alert system – slightly edited to keep the confirmation number private:
