First off, thanks to everyone for welcoming me to Lugnet, and for giving me
such positive feedback about my bots! I truly appreciate it!
Since all the feedback from the first group of bots, I’ve managed to
photograph a few more and post them up on Brickshelf. I just hope these are
as well-received...
Flying Bots:

(Note: This last one actually has a specific purpose--repair. The over-sized
arms contain “retractable” wielding lasers, and its two shoulder boosters give
it additional control and manueverabilty.)
Quadrapedal Bots:

Unknown Bots:

(Note: Not exactly sure where this guy came from, aside from that it answers
to the name “Tim”. A pleasant conversationalist, however.)
And, finally, a peak at one of the “designers” of the bots: a member of the
Rikhu race named Xenon. Accompanying him in this (illegal--*evil grin*) image
capture is another Rikhu scientist and one of the hovering bots. In the
background is his hovercar, built by Xenon himself when an obscure video game
theme song was stuck in his mind...

I know that the hovercar needs a bit of work, but I won’t be able to do much
with it for another few weeks when I return home to my main Lego collection.
I’d appreciate any tips or comments, as always!

I’ve gotta say, you’ve got some pretty awesome bots. You’re quite prolific too.
Great stuff, keep it up.
