This is Bob, our 3 ft tall house robot using the Ez-Robot kit and leftovers from plastering angle beads (lengths of perferated coated- right angle tin use to finish edges of plasterboard).
The angle beads are super cheap, can be cut to any length and can be easily riveted together. The big plus is the material is super light but strong. Bobs head comprises of 2 X 1.25 ltr plastic bottles. We are soon to retrofit Bob with Electric drill motors so he can venture up the driveway and down the street.

Ok, I see where you have already mentioned that. sorry :-(
Yesterday, I had to Totally disassemble Marty. (RIP)
I have NEVER been able to get her to avoid objects. It may not be her fault because I live in a very small apartment (you have to back up to turn around). Everything else worked good. I am going to totally rebuild her. Her Hair gets in the way and tangled up in the servos. The arms are not balanced. Plus, I cannot user her as a telepresence unit in her current state. All of the wires are so thin and not very strong. I am going to be putting back twisted wires for less interference. I am going to add a PIR so she can tell me if there are any carbon based units near. I already have a temperature sensor. But, I need to convert it to F. Right now it is just a number between 0 and 2. I purchased a trash can to put her guts in. Hopefully, it will not create a heated situation. I may need to add a fan.
I have been operating her with Team-Viewer so I would not have to type on the notebook.
I have watched closely and have been AMAZED at what you have done with BOB , he is AWSOME!
Sincerely,

I have come to a very clear conclusion. Your son is a GREAT designer and YOU are a wonderful Dad.
