FIDO, named after the drive mechanism that gave it life - the Four Independantly Driven Outrigger system - is the very latest in recon and tracking specialty mechanisms.

Mounted under the nose cowling is a highly sensitive olfactory sensor sweet. This enables FIDO to track and find any target as long as a reference odour is inputted into it’s program.

FIDO is now even easier to operate. With a sophisticated, yet elegantly simple, voice command system and a rudimentary AI, the operator maintains perfect control with a few firmly and confidently spoken commands.

FIDO is also fitted with a small cargo bay, where small, vital packages that Must Get Through can be readily trusted to this speedy and agile little mechanism.

Building notes: Yay. I finally found a use for those white domes. I’ve had them for a while and everthing I tried looked unnervingly familiar. I offset them slightly and voila, a mech is born.

Yes, the bionicle legs look a bit sparse, but they’d look too bulky with anything attached to them, and the poseability with them unadorned is a hoot. Yes, the colour scheme is a bit haphazard. If I had all those parts in white I’d have used ‘em. Ya builds with watchya gots.

(...) Sit, Stay, sniff that mech's butt. This is great. I can't wait to see this at a show in the mecha display. sniffing things, raising a leg on other mechs, carrying a lego catalog to it's master. What fun. Mark Neumann Snow Daddy (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey, how can I fault you if you want to build Snoopy as a mecha? This is a great model that shows off the versatility of the parts and the builder. Great job! When can we expect Woodstock? ;) -Dave (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
