Hello everyone! : )
This is my first post here. I don't even know if this is the correct forum to be posting my question but I will do my best here. First off, I can't even build a Lego robot and I don't have the intelligence or patience to build a real robot. I know I am in over my head on this forum... but I am curious. I am an artist and I've long been a fan of the robots by the World of 3A. I have had several of their creations most notably Optimus Prime Dark of the Moon. I am, however, interested in all robots especially those of the dystopian kind.
I have always been a bit frustrated that the World of 3A and other creators that do not make fully functional robots so I have been doing some research and discovered the EZ-Robot JD Humanoid. Wow! Now that thing is amazing. It is a real robot and not just a plastic collectable with articulated joints. But is it me? I am a bit frustrated by the cutesiness of the EZ-Robot. So I did some Google searching trying to find a forum where there was a community of people customizing the EZ-Robot with paint and parts to give it a more serious presence. My concern is merely an aesthetic one but I'm sure there are those of you out there that echo my sentiments.
I'm attaching photos of "fake" robots that are amazing looking. Is it even possible to customize the EZ-Robot so that it has an entirely different look than the standard one out of the box? I would love to see some photos and videos of what you have done to customize your robot, whether it's an EZ-Robot or some other robot.
Thank you too for uploading the Voltron Robot video. Who doesn't love Gen 1 Transformers? It's nice to see someone doing something beyond just articulated plastic parts and it shows what a little tinkering can do. The skills are way above my pay grade. Like I said, I can't even make a robot out of Legos.
you can learn alot by just trying.you can learn to make parts with free thinkercad.
building robot is a trial&error prosses.choose a robot to start.ask alot off questions.
post pics&video's

... but can you take a JD Humanoid, take off the shell, and with the skeleton turn it into something as incredible as the robots above? Is this even possible?
you need alot off patients.there are lots off good members with printing skills here.
look at darth jader fro dj.
First, you’ll have to understand target markets of products. The jd robot, by ezrobot, is targeted for education. The design and modular components of the product line are targeted for that customer.
the Boston dynamic robots you’re mentioning do not have products or customers. Albeit they put a version of the dog on sale for universities to use in education programs.
What assistance do you require to build a robot from synthiam's community?
