Nice finger... claw... things. Ok, I still think you aren’t quite clear on the
purpose of the thumb and its required range of movement to serve that purpose.
You’re going to have to try to assemble your next robot without using your
thumbs, as a practical lesson.;-)
I really like the angled heel on the foot, much more technically interesting
than a monolithic flat foot.
The pneumatic neck probably has a nice smooth action, hissssssss.
The head has your trademark funky insectobot SNOT technique, plus a smattering
of wedge plates, testing the waters with this new part. You’ll grow to like
these more and more.
I dig the hip joints. The way they angle upwards makes the Beeesh seem ready to
spring into Beeeshly action.
The weak point in the design is the chest. You seem to always use the stacked
brick technique for chest architecture. You sculpt it with slopes and such and
often make interesting shapes but still you could do more exciting things with
SNOT. Stacking is fine for internal structure, but I like it better when it’s
covered by a SNOT facade. All the appendages are naturally SNOTish since the
joints force the surfaces in all directions.
