Hello all It's been a while since I posted, been busy catching up on back orders for IKON so that took up most of my time.
I finished Doombot's skeleton/frame and I took him apart to make molds so I can reproduce the parts in aluminum and carbon fiber and kevlar. Its gonna be one mean deadly machine.
Anyway in the meantime I created Dirgebot, a smaller, less menacing and simpler to program (less moving parts) machine that's somewhat kid-friendly (for me). I wanted something my kid can play with (she wont even go in the room where Doom was parked).
Anyhoo here is the progress. Depending on how this proto goes I may market this model as a complete, not a kit, but something that can be used out of the box with no guesswork. I'm looking for an ARC programmer who can work with me, in exchange for stake in the future company. I recently established Bertone Industries, LLC and I have access to a warehouse and it will be manufactured here in the US using rotocasting techniques. Please contact me if interested here: [email protected]. Thanks guys!
:D
This still uses the V3 board and a webcam, alongside the W3 Iconia mounted on its chest. I will upgrade soon. Please be nice to us dinosaurs! haha
He stands at 3' 4" currently.
Testing the arm
Head armature
Sketching the head
Chestplate attached
Nearly finished sculpt. I'm gonna make a tutorial for making molds and casting fiberglass panels. This head is gonna be produced in fiberglass, alongside the rest of the robot when the sculpting is done. Hope you all like it.

Nice to make your acquaintance Doombot.
That is looking like a seriously cool bot you have there. Looks great so far, and I look forward to the final unveil. Good job.

Nice to meet you bro. Here's my other abomination:
Doombot V 1.0
Thanks for the link. Now I know what Richard meant when he said "menacing". That was properly bad ass. Love it.
@Anthony
I was thinking the same thing! I can put your 3d modeling skills to work with my designs my brotha...
I was also thinking, I'm a master mold maker (haha) and I can help you mass produce the XLR-one if you're interested. I'm posting the mold making process for this bot. Shoot me an email if you want.
@Anthony Sent.
I love where this is going! You guys are all taking ezrobot to new heights .. it's amazing!
@DJ
Thanks for responding. I'd like to know who I need to talk to for possibly using the EZB4 and Camera as OEM for this future production robot.
Nice. I'm into weaponization of bots but I like your designs. Mine are rolling weapons. You inspire me to try one after seeing your doom bot (I think that's what you called it). It scares people to roll up in the driveway and see a rolling AR-15 staring at them. But I don't like visitors anyway. The local cops aren't sure about my bot. Anyway I hope you get time to do a video walk around of your bot. I'd like to see more.
