In the bustling metropolis of 3160 where's a robot to go when it needs to kick back? The Robot Recharge Room of course! With a range of quality power supplies installed and bottles of Blue Alcobot on tap there’s really no better place to rest those creaking metal joints.

“I’ve always wanted to build my own robot,” Mugi explained, blushing a little, as she demonstrated her robot. "Of course, mine is only a working scale model. The original Tetsujin is 18 m tall."

Explored February 14, 2018. See bighugelabs.com/flickr/scout.php.

 

Upon learning this, Mugi commented, "That's great! I've always wanted to appear in Flickr Explore!"

Crushed by the wheels of industry.

Jonah and I have been on a robot building kick lately.

 

These are a few of mine

 

and here are some that Jonah built.

HPR-Ground & HPR-Air

 

Both Robots are designed to protect your home from burglars, hooligans and terrorism. If there is no threat (as usual), HPR-Ground is able to cut the lawn while HPR-Air shoots down birds, which plunder the fruit-bearing trees.

Another experiment with the big ball and socket brick elements in an effort to keep the scale and piece count down. "FLCL" meets "Cain robot" head, gorilla proportion legs, frying pan thumbs.

I present to you my latest MOC mecha that based on MG Gundam inspiration size. This is the 2nd MOC i did make after AMS H18 Hotten Imperator Mark II

 

Balrog was inspired by my favourite childhood Gundam model MS 18E Kempfer hence the dark blue color on most of its parts and the iconic two bazooka that attach on its back.

 

Arms with two bazookas, two panzefaust and a beam gun. Also boosted with 9 rocket boosters to aid it’s manoeuvre advantage in any situation battle that accord. Fit in with Action Mecha base my mecha able to do some pose with it’s armaments and some action poses. More pictures to come on the second part.

 

AMS initial stand for Advance Mecha Soldat and in French it mean Soldier.

 

Feel free to comment.

Finally finished this guy, thanks to everyone for the feedback on the WIP pictures.

The Robot 55 is a second generation wire guided anti-tank missile used by the military of the Nordic Union. With its estimated 800mm of penetration, the Robot 55 is able to punch through the armor of even a 3rd generation MBT. Robot 55 missile launchers are equipped with night vision equipment giving them the capability to deal with enemy armored units at all times of day.

This guy is basically a follow-up to "Alpha Two" and "Beta Three". I'm planning on doing a robot for each letter of the Greek alphabet.

 

A quick update on my Jaeger project. It's still in the works. I've got Cherno stripped down to his frame and I've started to piece together Gipsy Danger. I may start posting WIP pics every so often to keep everyone up to date on my progress.

my favorite aspect of these new transformers figures are their robot versions.

For that robot show comin' up in October

The Robot Army continues to grow...

 

Had fun adding some white ink on this one. It's not something I normally do, but I kinda like it! This was a birthday present fro a friend of mine.

Esta presupuestado que en el 2089 los robots dominen el mundo.

Quería hacer un robot de peluche para decorar mi habitacion (si, soy bastante friki lo sé) y al final me acabé picando y picando. Ya puestos despues de crear el patron a partir de un dibujo.. porque no hacer varios? ^^ A ver que os parecen

Miden aproximadamente 14 cm.

P.D. como me preguntaron que si funcionan a bateria o a luz solar ... queria deciros que no... que funcionan a abrazos ... a mas abrazos mas adorables son contigo ^^

A rather unsettling billboard in the foreground actually describes BNSF 1529 quite well. Built in 1958 as GP9 NP 348, some "robotic surgery" in the form of a major rebuild and a couple paint jobs have left the unit looking nothing like it's former self.

Robot Royal 36

with Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 2.8/45

 

What a machine! A 35 mm rangefinder camera with interchangeable lenses and built-in spring driven film advance. It is somewhat bigger and heavier than comparable models (with manual film advance) of the mid-1950ies, like perhaps the Leidolf Lordomat. First of all it has two springs in the bottom, which makes the body higher. Furthermore the Robot features a special rotary shutter. Unlike a behind-the-lens leaf shutter it is placed in the camera body and not in front of it, which makes the body thicker. And finally the camera is just massive, the back door and the hinge are probably the most solid ones I've seen on such a camera. Perhaps it has to be so rigid: it can transport the film with 4 to 5 frames per second, which is as fast as a Nikon F4 without MB-21.

 

On some items the operation differs from other cameras.

* The big lever under the lens is not for focusing, but for mounting and unmounting the lens. At its end every lens has three segments with a thread. You just attach the lens and turn the lever, then a ring catches that parted thread very tightly. That works quickly, easy and safely.

* There are three little tabs on the focus ring, which make it very comfortable to focus. Especially fine focusing can be done with only one finger.

* The Robot is equipped with a powerful motor drive, so you expect rapid continuous shooting. Most Robots Royal I've seen have a lever at the "Royal 36"-badge at the front side, to choose between single or continuous shooting, but not this one. So, if you fully press down the shutter button at once, the shutter will fire once. If you press the shutter button halfway and hold it, the shutter will fire continuously, until you release it or you press it down completely. You need some practice to that safely, and I don't know if it is a bug or a feature.

* A big item: those film cassettes Robot cameras usually use. You can load a Royal with a common 35 mm cassette, but the "take-up spool" has to be an NR-cassette, which makes film loading not that easy. A nice detail: when the camera back is closed, the mouth of the cassette is opened to reduce the friction, when the film is transported. You can accelerate the film advance further, when you replace the common film cartridge on the feeding side by a TR-cassette, which has the same mechanism. The TR-cassette has to be loaded with film by yourself then.

* The design of the rewind wheel is just awesome. It automatically rises, when it is turned in the direction of the arrow. But the real ingenious idea is, that the shaft inside the camera, which is coupled with the film spool normally, is retracted when the rewind wheel is not in use. So the rewind wheel will not turn during the film advance and the film advance can not be impeded by accident, for example by your awkward left hand.

And when you've rewound a film, don't forget to lower the rewind wheel again, otherwise you can't take out the film cartridge.

* There is a little shifter on the back. In position "red" the shutter button is locked and the viewfinder is half-closed. When using "B" also the pressed shutter button can be locked. Position "R" is for rewinding, then the complete viewfinder is closed.

 

Some notes:

* The camera may be extraordinary, the viewfinder isn't.

* The frame counter must be reset manually. You have to press the tiny button on top near the shutter button and turn a little wheel on the back.

* You have X-synchronization with all shutter speeds.

* As you can see, the camera has a nice extra foot.

* I often read, that the range of shutter speeds is 1/2 to 1/500 s (and B). My exemplar can do 1/4 to 1/500 s (and B).

 

The Robot Royal was produced for three frame formats, besides the Royal 36 for 24x36 it was made for the classic Robot square format 24x24 (Royal 24) and for the half-frame format 18x24 (Robot 18). That Robot was also available without viewfinder, then it is called Robot Recorder. There exists also a Recorder 6 for 6x24 frames, and the Recorder was available with (not the 6) or without rewind mechanism. So you can imagine, that those Robots were used a lot in industry and science, and perhaps you've experienced, that Robot cameras were used for traffic surveillance (speed limit control). They are exposure machines; a professional analog 35 mm SLR was planed for perhaps 300.000 exposures, that is a number a Robot can only smile about. Remember, that it has a rotary shutter similar to movie cams. In a movie cam the shutter makes 25 frames a second, several hours a day.

 

Since the Robot was made for different formats, there are lenses intended only for the smaller 24x24 format, it's like the thing with APS-C and full-frame on digital cameras today. Robot found a way to prevent the use of 24x24 lenses on the Royal 36, practically the camera has two tabs in the bayonet mount and the 24x36 lenses the according two notches, while the 24x24 lenses has only one notch. With that method 24x36 lenses can still be used on the Robot 24. I've read, that there are Robot 36 cams with one notch removed, so for example the standard lenses for the Robot 24 (38 and 40 mm) will fit, but may cause vignetting.

 

Perhaps you've noticed, that the distance scale on my Xenar is given in feet only. So, the camera certainly was sold in the US, and indeed, a sticker on the bottom says, it was owned by "Stretch" in Los Alamos, New Mexico. I did an Internet research and I really found him. He left a collection of movies and pictures made between 1950 and 1997, archived by the Northern Arizona University and available. His main subjects were rivers, mostly the Colorado River and the Rio Grande. The collections contains nearly 1000 slides, and perhaps some of them were taken with that Robot above.
