finally got around to doing something on this challenge. Made some simple concept drawings (and I ain't that good at drawing)

Basic thought is that the robot (which I named 'Rabbot', in a less sober moment) has pretty strong legs/feet to jump on stuff for testing and grip arms for testing doorknobs and such.

It's design is that it can be stored and look un-robot-like. So if it is in-active it is more of a decorative object.

Here are the pics user added image

Looks nice, I look forward to a first 3d preview. The inactive position looks a bit like a trash can, maybe he can be of use like that too user added image

Here's the basic idea for the head, not much detail yet.
Not sure weather I really like it though (2 much R2D2).

I am surprised by the greatness of my noobism (is that a word?) btw.

Exams are over!!!:laugh:
Haven't got a clue as to if I aced m or not user added image

Anywho... decided my design was to much like R2D2 so design went overboard.
New plan is to make a robo-bunny of some sort (still named Rabbot, same use)
Just think of a robo-version of disneys thumper thumping on furniture and stuff user added image
