Mar/Apr - Noob - Guitar Player

This is the first time I ever visited this forum, and it has captured my interest. I will participate in this contest under the Mods' approval user added image

So ok, Im thinking about a Guitar-Playing Robot design.

Sort of a really bulky looking guitar holder which also has arms that extend to wrap around the instrument and play it. A third arm with only 2 fingers (the other two are hand-like) will be used to tune the guitar dynamically.

The plans are to animate and have sound and all to this model.

I am doing this project in free time in school, so progress may be uneven.

Question; do we submit the model or a set of graphics to this contest?

Woo!

Heres the concept sketch:

I labeled it "Erotic Guitar" because of the way the hands look while theyre playing the guitar:o

Oh well, schools over for the weekend, I'll do more work over the weekend in concepts... *sigh... user added image
