Stuffing this baby was incredibly labour intensive and I think I've put a bit too much in. Maybe it'll flatten...
Robot on a blank NHS prescription, probably send this to Rx Skulls over in Portland. Could've done a fake script with this and had any drug I fancied for free but thought this robot was more useful.
Every day that I was in Las Vegas at the NADA workshops I would take my notes in adobe ideas on my iPad.
On every page I would doodle a robot :-)
The movie "Avatar" was kind of the inspiration behind this one. I named it "Avatar" because of it's blank face. That name just seems to suit it perfectly. Well, that and it's inspired by the movie "Avatar". Did you think I would call it Robo-cop or something?
Alright, let's say your body is overflowing with cancer or you end up in a devastating car crash and you only have a short amount to time to live. Would you rather die or have your mind transfered into a new body and continue with your life? With this kind of technology, you could essentially live forever!
Basically, Your subconscious mind is transferred into the robot and the robot's appearance changes to reflect the subconscious mind that has been loaded. All of your memories and personality characteristics remain intact but instead of being flesh and blood, Your aluminum and oil.
These robots can be upgraded in many ways including job specific upgrades like stronger servo motors in the arm and leg joints for heavy lifting jobs. Even fire-proof alloy for firefighters and integrated parachutes for pilots. And when the robot is beyond repair or outdated, your mind can once again be transfered to a brand new robot.

Scorpions have bad eyesight, and some just wait patiently for food to stumble in front of them. It can be a long wait. Some scorpions go a year between meals.
For our LEGO NXT robot scorpion, we used the ultrasonic sensor to sense the proximity of food, and it seemed appropriate to have it hunt in an infinite loop. (Short video)
This is the battle bots arena from above. This top down photo was taken from the second floor of the Wilkinson Center.

Robots developed by DU's School of Engineering and Computer Science. Each has a pair of video camera "eyes," so that they can conduct war zone surveillance and even ride alongside troop transports to detect roadside bombs. To learn more about these and other robots being created at DU, see www.du.edu/magazine/archive/2009/04/Building_a_Better_'B.....
