Next Project

Hey guys. As I am closing in on the finishing line on my Gargantuan project, I’m lining up the remainder of the year with a few projects. I have a budget for a couple more projects. I’d like your input as to what you’d like to see me build the most.

I’m due to return for reshoots for Avengers 4 in September and then there is a question mark about Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as they fired my director?! That was to begin in January. So I may in fact have a lot more robot time on my hands than I originally thought.

But here are some things that I’ve been either working on designing, thinking about or just might be really cool to tackle.

  1. A body for Alan. ( all the sourcing has been done for this)

  2. New version of Alan’s Head. Like an advanced model , expressions, blink, new face design et.

  3. A biped 24 inch walking robot

  4. A tank tread robot

  5. Back pack robot that unfurls

  6. Robot Dog like Boston dynamics

---Please pick one or two at most---

@cem It just seems like a no brainer..right? I've been digging deep into the wheeled scooter motors, they are powerful and take up way less room than wheel chair motors.

Yes, its a no brained, it completes the Alan project! :)

I think the Robot host show on YouTube would be good. He comes up with the idea and you build it. Antonn and I would watch. Sounds like a fun thing. Maybe build a four legged beast as a companion for Alan. Everyone needs a pet.

It would be fun watching you on YouTube build a Will-Al- Ena. It / he/ she could be your pet something. Maybe a visitor from the Avenger or Guardian type realm or maybe a scarier place, Here. I think it would be fun to see a complete creature able to interact and move around, but with a mind of its own.

I thank you for the robot creations you have shared so far and I know you will come up with something cool.

Yes on YouTube channel! WIth Alan and Alena as sidekicks, it could be a regular MST2K (whee!)

I'm following the GotG 3 debacle; I'll leave it at that (no place here).

Bottom line: no matter what project(s) you choose, it will be cool!

I like the idea of you making a walking robot. Another Alan is more of the same even if it is awesome. A body would be nice. You could go two routes: 1: take Alan and simplify it for 3D printing and do an open source release. Then it is just not reading about your projects but people could participate while building their own. You could see a society of sub-Alans develop. 2: go more complex and make a walking bot or waling dog type. Expand the state of the art for home builders.

Just some thoughts.
