Current Status

I’m catching up. Here’s the current status of mine

That’s a bit too cunning for me :)

#5 Make a Chest

Here’s mine as it’s going together

It looks a little pathetic and simple next to yours. Once I see how it looks with the legs on, I may add a few greebles to those flat sides.

#6 Make an Arm

Oops skipped #6. Arms an legs are the next step.

The mouth has a pink star wand as the tongue. heh. I’m the man.

Yes you are.

#7 Make a Spine

I had fun making the tail (the end of the spine) on mine. It’s nice and flexible.

The Spine and Hips have been completed and fitted together.
I’m working on the Feet at the moment.

#8 Make some Hips

The nice thing about a roo’s hips is that they don’t move independantly. I’m only using one direction of motion. I did use a worm gear joint for the first time though. It is adjusted by twisting the scrotum on the underside :)

Questions, comments and feedback appreciated.

It’s looking impressive so far. I can never work out how you build such large robots so quickly.

I’ve got the legs and arms yet to go on mine, and then detailing the cockpit. I expect there’ll be some re-sculpting of the torso before I’m done though.

This is fun.
