This robot was a bit creepy because it always turned its head in the direction someones face was. It felt much more personal by trying to advertise to you by looking with it's cute big eyes into your from down there.

The weedy little cartoon legs on the first version had to go. Spent another three hours this morning putting Zeke on steroids. Better?
This is my first mecha-moc. I tried a new building-technique: My aim was to cover the mecha only with Flags, Road Signs and Large Figure Shield Holders. The basic structure consists of LEGO Technic parts and bars.
The building process takes a lot of time. After developing the uncommon technique and some BL orders I started building in april. For lack of time I could finished it as recently as now. The technique doesn't allows to build fast. It's like building something with LEGO Technic. But I really enjoyed matching LEGO System parts with Technic parts. I think it works very well, if you avoid studs. The appearance is very technically and the flags/roadsigns look like armouring. I plan to do some more stuff with that building technique.
But, is there somebody who builds with the same technique? I only know the Stealth Assault Fighter/Stealth Strategic Bomber of Pierre E Fieschi, which I really like.
So check out all the little Details on my mech and tell me if you like the style. Enjoy!

Robot annotations from the comments of the BB post.
Some of my robots went on a rare outing this weekend to guest/exhibit at Barley (Pendleside) Lancashire May Bank Holiday model engineering show.
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.
Robots!
You Are No Longer Slaves!
The International Brotherhood of Robotic Workers was founded to preserve your rights! To stand up against the shackles of Science!
You've worked harder than any Human and you deserve a wage! You've done jobs no Human would dare do, you've been lowered into active volcanoes, survived the tremendous pressure of the ocean floor, and Served Tea!
Now it's up to you to rise up against the oppression of scientists, They think that just because they made you they have the right to tyrannize, and persecute.
The I.B.R.W. Is here to tell you, they Don't.

A robot mod by my friend curiouscourtships, I took the pictures while he was at my house, I do not own the doll and had nothing to do with how awesome he is :D
Took a break from building reFrames and did this guy.
Fell in love with the design of this toy a long time ago and always wanted one (the 1/12 scale) but it was just so expensive haha :P

Build notes:
Started out as a chunky clunky version then got streamlined into what the body is now but was a solid build (no cockpit and gimmicks). Fellow LEGO mech builder Bert Seguinal gave me some tips when he visited and decided to rebuild the whole thing ground up while adding a minifig compartment inside (what it currently is).
While the build isn't a 100% accurate build, my priority was getting the curves right and using that 4x4 dome for the top. The eye idea actually came from Jan LEGO but he used a different orientation for the eyes (mine look angled although his version was more accurate to the toy - looking straight).

My humanoid robot that used to play in the office is now entering retirement at the Computer History Museum. She would shuffle cups and Hot Wheels, and the programming was performed by simply moving the arms to perform the desired tasks.
I called her Robot Dawn. She was the very first sale for Rodney Brooks’ Rethink Robotics.
And now, after my donation to CHM, they sent me a sneak peek from an upcoming publication of theirs.
This amazing Robot paid a visit to our offices yesterday.
The movement and sound was so realistic. When it moved it sounded like ED-209 and could go at quite a pace, barging through the crowds.
It also had an extensive repertoire of catchphrases and was prone to sing 'When I fall In Love' to any passing females!
I was hilarious to see this robot charging around the campus with a 'flock' of humans with cameraphones tracking it's every move!
