I bought this awesome "lubot" (a steampunk robot) from french artist "Lubots Créations", at "Japan/Geek Touch" convention (in Lyon, France). I was fascinated by his work !

Race: Clockwork Robots
Type: Mechanical droids
Home planet: None
First appearance: The Girl in the Fireplace
The Clockwork Robots were created by a spacecrew from the 51st Century. When the ship was damaged, vital machinery was destroyed so they began to use the crew's body parts instead.
They managed to travel through time windows so they could meet Madame de Pompadoure to use her brain, only when she was at the right age though.
They had strange smiling faces and long black hair for their trips to France but were actually glass humanoid figures operated by space age clockwork technology.
They would break any clocks in the room to disguise their arrival and would slice open the parts of people where the organs could be found by their blades and saws in their hands.
The Doctor freezed them with ice guns but finally defeated them by destroying the time window causing them to break down. The Doctor managed to get back however by Madame de Pompadoure's fireplace.
Some of my robots went on a rare outing this weekend to guest/exhibit at Barley (Pendleside) Lancashire May Bank Holiday model engineering show.
This B9 is a vintage Masudaya 1:5 scale body shell c1986. An entire pack of cotton buds with half a tin of cellulose thinners saw the original brushed grey paint stripped off, followed by a full respray.
He now has an Arduino UNO controlling his chest rotation servo and base drive, and Tenacontrol voice and lights with additional transistors driving filament amber grain of rice bulbs in the finger lights, along with separate square red, green & yellow LEDs in the chest plate.

Control is via an infra-red receiver in place of his soil sampler. He has dual onboard 6 volt & 9 volt power from 2.5 AH NiMH battery arrays.
This was a quick morning project for a baby gift. For more info and link to tutorial, go here! www.dabbled.org/2008/06/stenciled-robot-onesies.html

I have wanted to knit a robot for so long, and now I finally did. This guys name is Robot Robot, because he thinks he is two robots in one... He is getting sent to my friend, Maddie, for Christmas. blogged
Very much inspired by the Spyrius robot sets, but at a slightly smaller scale. This was a fun build, the massive claws are well suited to dangling minifigs by the ankles, as this spent all of Sunday at STEAM doing.

Enhanced Omnibot shows off the new grippers on his power arms. His brain is a stack of 5 UNOs - 1 master and 4 slaves which control his servos, his synthesized voice (SPO256 "Narrator" using allophones), and his front panel matrix display.
Theodore Robot is unconvinced that he is a robot. He thinks he hears his beating heart, but people tell him that it is just a clock inside of him making tics. He doesn't think this is so because when he was watching the movie Beaches, he could hear the beating speeding up during the sad parts and his eyes started to rust due to moisture. When Theodore Robot is done with his robotic duties each day, he sits in soft grass and looks at the birds and contemplates existence. When he tires of contemplating existence, he thinks about chocolate cake and how it must taste. Being a robot, he doesn't need food, but boy does he want some chocolate cake.
Robot butler from the defunct Horizons ride at Epcot, taken "in ride."
Luckily, the ride had stopped, allowing me a chance at a clean crisp photo. This is one of my favorite shots I've ever taken of anything.
I miss Horizons greatly.

The story:- these three reprobates seem to be holed up together in a derelict house on planet earth!
We have a robotic work station in the Cupola, from which we control the International Space Station's robotic arm: Canadarm.

The MAIWR is a new type of technology developed by the United Kingdom Special Service. This Warfare robot is capable of flying, running, and walking underwater. It has a AV-AC (Anti-Vehicle Accelerated Cannon) mounted on it's right side, and an anti infantry machine gun with an extremely high rate of fire.
This machine also thinks like a human, except with no regards of danger. It is also programmed to obey orders.
This is just an upgraded verison of one of my previous creations.
I also just finished a Halo UNSC Marine, but I want to polish my story before I posted, for I am planning to make it a series.
Yours truly,

I crocheted a robot for my nephew to match the pjs I got him for xmas :) No pattern, just made it up as I went along.
Here is a team building/repairing their robot during our recent robot combat competition in BYU's Garden Court.

A robot designed for working in the atmospheres of gas giants. Utilizes vacuum buoyancy technology to stay "afloat".
Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.
I did custom work on my Rampax robot. I added leg gears, hinge covers and insect pin antennas, and did a complete paint job.
