One of our long time customers and local inventors, Lindsay Lawlor asked us to help him out with getting Russell, his life size robotic giraffe to an event at the White House.
Here is Lindsay getting Russell the Giraffe ready and loaded into the container we had custom built to be his new home away from home for events all over the country.
Getting it loaded onto the semi truck flatbed was kind of a nerve wracking moment.
But it all worked out fine and it made its way across the country to be delivered to the Smithsonian for unloading.
Here he is being unloaded from his container
And him getting a ride through the DC streets on his way to the event.

We are really glad we were able to be a part of this great event and help to make it happen.
