Tweeties is pretty good, like an auto spraypainting robot. It does really depend on what kind of robot you want. There are industrial ones, medical, servitude etc, the list is as diverse and endless as we are as humans. I have done one over a can of Rum, mine is based on personal experience as an operator of heavy earth moving equipment. Excavators in particular are a damn good base for robots as they are well and truly equipped to handle a lot of things, hydraulic rams etc etc both hidden and visible. Heavy earth moving equipment is one of the best references for a lot of robots, sci-fi etc...because it is real and works. Mining companies come up with some amazing vehicles....

Okay here's the finished hinge, thanks to Tweety and Bullet for their input, and also the finished robot. The design was taken off a picture I found on the web.

Rigging Issue
Okay, so I'm having a shot at rigging my robot character and I've found something kinda strange. I went into component mode and turned on the local rotation axis for my joints so that I could tweak them. Then I went and made some other changes to the skeleton adding in an extra joint and parenting the shoulders to it instead. Now when I go back to edit the new joint in component mode there are three joint orient 'things' sitting in the middle of the model? When I select one it lightly highlights some objects in the outliner so I went drilling down there but it doesn't actually have anything selected? I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to rigging so I'm not really sure what to do.
