Death of a tripod, a polymorph tragedy :(
This was my camera tripod used for videoing my robots at ground level.
After videoing Turbo Trike I left it in the car by mistake. I forgot all about it. After the car being in the hot sun for nearly a week, I found my tripod like this............
It made friends with a few other bits and pieces in the console. It can now measure tire pressure, drill 13mm holes and make the car smell nice.

Never leave your polymorph in a car, especially in the middle of summer :/

I'm glad others find it as funny as I did. Although you can tell I missed my tripod with the new, shaky video of my Polymorph Caterpillar. :-)

If the choices are living in a country with strange animals where your toys melt if left alone. Or living in my own country with only 245 days in a year and where snow is a common construction material, I think I'll stay in Norway thankyouverymuch.
There is actually a greater risk of me not finding my car because of snow, than any polymorph deforming inside it (unless it snaps because it freezes though)...

Careful there :\
For a start that was New Zealand, secondly the wombat was innocent :-)
Admittedly I would prefer snow, welding and furnace work would be more pleasant.
Perhaps you should try a hobby like this guy in Alaska. Very arty.

Sorry to hear about your mishap, that was a nicely crafted piece. But congratulations on all the new features it picked up :) It's a very non-deterministic approach to building a swiss army knife. Dump a bunch of tools and instruments in a bin with some polymorph and let chaos theory decide what your new tool's capabilities will be :)

Sorry to hear
I meant to ask you if you had not forgotten about your tripod in the car.
But I totally forgot. My bad. ;-)
