Choose any design you want: cleaning windows, space-ballet, etc. Include a gravity generator and you might even be able to use those wheels. Pack it into fur and give them a space-pet. What the heck, there's enough junk in space already..." If you win, let us know, we'll send you a t-shirt. :)

    There are strong cultural ties though - Austria exported all her convicts to Australia then invented cricket and Marmite, both of which the Australians have turned into their own national icons.
