Using a rubber band is a really good idea, which I may have to borrow from you,
Jeff. There is some slackness in the string, and it needs to be pulled back
against the curve of the face every so often. I’m confident I can ‘train’ the
string eventually, but there’s a constant danger of it looping out.

Does using a 1x1
round plate make the head too tall or interfere with other bricks or movement
|
Using the standard trans 1x1 round plate ‘eye’ looked silly on this one,
unfortunately...made the robot look like Jay Leno.
| |
or did you just want to try something different?
|
Some of my friends have pointed out that I’ve been using the exact same head
designs on all my recent robots. And they’re right, damn them - I tend to stick
with what I know will work. The trouble is, it’s really hard to get a decent
looking head in such a small space. Any opportunity to evolve the much-loved
original design should probably be taken.

Your cool inspiration just
kicked in on me & I just thought about using a 1x1 round clear plate ‘vizor’
with a 1x1x2/3 slope ‘chin’. maybe it’s been done b4 but i just thought of
it.
|
lol I’ve tried that...great minds think alike.
| |
Anyways, great work & great inspiration!
