Hello all, Been here for a while now and I thought I'd share my project with you, DoomBot V1.0. He's a big one, a little under 5 feet tall. I'm still working on the platform, haven't really decided just yet, but I did get 2 wheelchair motors. Nothing is wired up yet, I'm still planning on adding a bunch of stuff on it so we'll see. The arms are all dc window motors and a pneumatic cylinder. Comments appreciated!
Influences are T-600-800, Predator, Alien (I live for H.R Giger). I'm sculpting all the panels once all the hardware is crammed in. This is gonna have a real sick exoskeleton, both for looks and strength. See my website to get an idea.

Excellent work ! You're a real pro ! Looking forward for videos and progress.
Its been hectic so I'm working quite slow right now. But I've been test fitting panels for Doombot, so I have some progress here. I've also completed the drivetrain - I will post photos later on when I get back to my shop.
For the templates I'm working with galvanized sheet metal, aluminum, cardboard, foamboard and aluminum foil. When I get my desired shapes/curves/lines, and the panels fits together, I will create master molds out of the originals and reproduce them in carbon fiber/kevlar.
I have started sculpting the face plate, truly menacing. I will post photos of that too.
Any critiques, comments, suggestions are always welcome
Goodmorning Doombot :-} This is really an awesome build and it keeps getting better :-} Like I said before I do believe you are building the first in the line of many TERMINATERS. So how much would you say he weighs right now?
Then all we need is Rich to start working on Sky Net....
Hey bro
I know it looks like its 2 tons, but its actually not that heavy, its just the base that weighs a lot. I cant give you and exact number right now, till I properly weigh it.
If youre wondering the pan/tilt contraption on the left shoulder is where the laser sight/predator inspired BB cannon is gonna sit. I'm gonna have it move the same as the camera recognition so it moves as the head moves. I cant wait to finish this now man, so I can scare the pesky neighborhood kids always peeking into my shop when I work. hah
@Richard R hahaha
eek
@Doombot Yeah I know what you mean about people peeking in and watching, these days you don't want people to know what you have or knowing what you are working on. My heavier equipment is my garage and well most of my building goes on inside the house in a spare bedroom I made into a work area. Yes your robot does look heavy, but then it all depends on the materials you are using, nothing wrong with light/heavy artillery, being quick and on target is what counts and well scary and mean looking doesn't hurt either :-}
