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.

Clockwork Robot - Dr Who Exhibition, Land's End, Cornwall - Sunday February 17th 2008.
Episode Four: The Girl in the Fireplace
Clockwork Robots
Doctor Who
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.
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
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.

Voice activated Meccanoid crashes a RAD photo.....!
Meccanoid found it difficult to hear voice commands in the exhibition environment, so he got bored, whistled a bit, and practiced his dance and Kung Fu moves.
On the left, RAD 1.0 c.1998 and on the right, RAD 4.0 c.2001.
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.
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.
Introducing... SC00PA-2!
The dumbest little TablesCRAP I've made. It's a mix and match of rongYIREN's droid feet with some MDSWIM chibi fingers well, kinda, a Rabbit Droid from Clone Wars, WALL-E and the idiocy that is MCLegoboy!
I'll be having more pictures on MOCpages when it's working again.

The story:- these three reprobates seem to be holed up together in a derelict house on planet earth!

finished size 37x33.
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.
A robot designed for working in the atmospheres of gas giants. Utilizes vacuum buoyancy technology to stay "afloat".
Mr and Mrs Robert Robot. 'Silly' robots made for a swap on Claire's Blog. These two are winging their way to Katy in Washington, USA.
This photo shows them after they receive their top coat of silver paint.
This picture was taken inside the Wilkinson Student Center at BYU and shows the robotics battle competition taking place. This was sponsored by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and featured contestants from all across the state battling inside this plexiglass arena.
