True, there are some issues. the armour may need a reprint along the line to make it thicker etc. There was no way that servo was sitting in the robot with the design we have, its a trend i've seen quite a bit recently. Josh did a cracking job, when you see them up close at some point you should be ...

And here they are. Photo doesn't really do them justice, they look great!

And heres the two side by side, thanks Josh!

Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback. @Gary: That looks really cool! The show has changed somewhat - the idea originally was for me to build a robot on stage however it soon became apparent that due to time constraints i would be building a robot backstage and then reviling it onstage later in the show...

Thanks for the reply's guys, interesting to hear your opinions as ever. From the beginning the idea was to avoid servo drive. The list of components will be very similar to what Andy listed except without the Sabertooth (Perhaps the Fingertech controllers or a Peter board) and the occasional odds an...

Hi, Thanks for the interest guys. Dave, that would be awesome. Drop me a line a bit closer to the event and we can figure out transport etc. Gary, you make a very good point. I am trying to find a mid ground between "Uber tech" and well... this . To me 3D printing seems like a reliable sol...
