Ouchie is not the original Ant-Duck (or should that be Duck-Ant?). A long time ago there was Mr Duck built by Chris someone-or-other.

A duck is actually a very bad shape for an ant. It's fundamentally unstable on land. Maybe OK for aerial or water-bourne combat though?

BTW Ouchie will hopefully have sprouted "wings" by the AWS to help him stand up to other robots for at least a few more seconds!

i dont care how bad it is , its still awesome. these wings should be interesting , make them pneumatic so you can fire ants out the side away from you

1. pwns
Stemming from the misspelling of the word "owns", being that the "p" key is right next to the "o" key. It does not mean the possesive "owns", but as in a form of domination, such as in a game or sport.
e.g.
Dude, he pwns you at Halo.
He pwns all of you at basketball.

2. pwns
pwns is a term for describing the act of dominating over someone or something
that was from http://www.urbandictionary.com, a dictionary of "urban" words 8)
