They take the bot taxi:
Im entering this into Marks Civilian MOC contest.
This can hold 2 passenger robriq (the big bot itself is the driver).
These bots sorta move around like water striders. Kind of sliding and
leaping...and the taxi moves the same way.
The engine hinges up to let the bots in and theres a maintenance hatch on the
bottom.
I like to imagine it parallel parking. Kicking a car up into a store front and
punching a hole through another one.
Tell me what ya think!

Well, someone has to ask it, so...who takes the bot taxi home when it goes to
the pub? Itd suck to always have to be the designated driver for no reason
beyond that youre the car.

| | | | Mama Zemi is pretty cool Jon, but instead of Robriq (also cool) I imagined a
brood of zemis exploding from that steel uterus behind the hinged engine. Then,
of course, Mama Zemi would consume as many as she could catch. But thats just
my own fantasy. Cool moc. But the PDX public still demands to know...where is
ADD bot? Hes the one I want to see leaving the pub.
Great work as always

| | | | Ill tell you what I think--its beautiful! The image gave me an instant
tickle, like the genre of modern art where they make oversized replicas of
ordinary objects like spoons and pencils. Expertly done, as always.

Ooooooooooo.
Shiny.

| | | | |
| | | | I think there is a magnifier / scale vortex of some kind in .space these days.
The first ship that gave me that impression is Ryans
Ju Zhen. And now this Robriq Taxi. Its
very difficult at first glance to determine what is its scale, what its made
of. Very nice work Jon, I am really surprised how this thing turned out. Clever
use of the ball sockets!
Cheers,
JP.

| | | | Unca Jon, brilliant use of the ball sockets. A fun model all around.
Now Im eagerly anticipating the jumbo-sized Robriq #2.

I especially like this pic; I can just
see its legs kicking in the air as it tries to right itself. Oh the indignity of

Damn! I was hoping you wouldnt say that.

Im with Keith on this.(1) More capacity! How about a way for more of the little
guys to ride on the outside like some species of frogs or spiders? Mmmmm,
swarms of little bots...

I definitely want to see that. Animations, anyone?
This MOC has so many cool part-use innovations and scale-humour moments.
Nicely greebled yet shmoove... I think youre brilliant and I mean
scary-brilliant. Now, go build a P-38 or something...
Peace and swarms,
Professor Whateverly
(1) glad to see that Im not
the only one who thinks along these
lines. Wierdos unite!

This bugger is wickedly cool (bad pun intended)! That leg structure is perfect
for the scale and i think the taxi idea is just great. I also dig the green
hue on the first pic.
