John's New Hobby

Last week John discovered the new hobby I made for him - collecting hubcaps. (NB these were not found on cars, but rather abandoned by the roadside): I found one on the first night, and then I found another the next, and so far he has 2 whole hubcaps. He is very happy with them. Here they are pictured below, first a smooth and roundy one, and then then a more acute and dynamic one, attractively displayed on the light:


One unresolved issue is what will now become of these lovlies - we could try and trace their real owners and give them back, or we could sell them on ebay, OR, we could make them into a battle-robot to participate in the popular TV show RobotWars.

I think that a Robot that bats the others with hubcaps could be a real contender. It would look a bit like this...


... however, the real problem would be coming up with a suitable name to strike fear into the hearts of goth/engineer opponents.
