Ya know Eric, this is a really cool bot, but for you it’s the same old same
old. Different fingers, different eyes, different color, but still the same

new?

I tend to agree with Adrian. This is old hat for you by now.

I can’t disagree more, I can see the new.
There is no doubt that there is a lot in common with your other works. But I
see lots of minute improvements. And I see the tech improvements. The tech is
tighter, the visible gears aren’t showing the whole story. I can see the
geardown throughout. It’s the same principles applied in a different way and
incorporated into a design.
I find when looking at the pics again, I find a bit more life in Beeesh than in
prior works. He reminds me of a 1:1 scale gremlin. He’s more alive to me than
your previous bots. That in itself in a significant improvement.
Bottom line, if this is what challenges and makes you happy to build Eric, do
so. If you want to continue to share these creations, then do so. Change your
style when you feel the need to do so. Grow at your own pace.
