Penguin-like Robot Project!

The sketch looks great what designing program did you use to do that

Believe it or not, I used paint. I can be artistic! :P

Here are some names: Alpha Ulix Kitt Plexi Socket Uly

I changed the idea a tiny bit.

I'm not sure for a head or arms, or the name, but hopefully you guys can be creative and help me out!

It's starting to model more towards Lexi 3000...

Thanks, Tech

My first thought is it looks like a Dalek... :D

Lol yea with the clock head.

Does anyone have a preference to what the name should be?

Anyone have head ideas?

Common people! Your free to voice even the oddest ideas!

For the head you can put two servos that will control the cameras motion and then you can glue a ping pong ball on right and the left hand side of the camera. Instead of the ping pong balls you can also use a led or a colorful light bulb

You could always build out the top to look like Claptrap from Borderlands. Might work with that base!

Ok this might be TOO cute... "Mumble" from Happy Feet. There are some pretty cute penguin-y names from that movie!

@aislinn, Thanks for the ideas! I never thought of penguin names(lol).

@Jason, interesting bot! I could do triangle/pointed shoulders...

Penguin names: Jazz Bruce oreo Pepper tuxedo Echo Leroy

Bold is my top 3. Tell me what you think! "Echo" is a runner up.

Still need head ideas!

Thanks for the help!

Ok so I may have lied on the penguin part at this point but i'm going to try to keep it.

Names I want your final opinions on: Echo Leroy Jazz Bruce Alpha Ulix Plexi Socket

Post your top 3. I really want to know so please do it!

Head ideas:

I like the last ideas but I'm not sure how I would make them. Foam maybe?

Tell me what you think!

Body:

Here is my final deign on the shoulders. The sides will be indented with the ez-robot logo in the armpit.

I need help with the arms. I don't intend on using the arms to grab things. More just for cosmetics. They will be able to move at the shoulder only side to side.

Please voice your opinion! I want to here it! Place your votes!

Hmmm, EZ-Robot logo in the armpit? Not sure DJ is gonna be all over that one... Well at least you didn't say the crotch...

lol I thought abut that after. I changed my mind after I posted... :P

Maybe you can use a toilet paper roll for the arm like boxbot

Anyone got votes on the head or name? I like the box or round head and the names alpha, Echo, or ulix. Anyone got there vote yet?

I like a bucket shaped head... reminds me of the old lunney toons cartoon when bugs bunny dresses up like a female robot :)

@Mohamed.r, this bot is 3-4ft tall. A toilet paper roll will be too small.

Thanks for the idea Richard.

I like the lamp shade shape and think it would look great in this body. Almost like the stages in a rocket. For no reason in particular I like the name Ulix and for some reason I don't understand at all, Leroy. Those names just seem to fit the project to me. To be fair, I may be crazy.

Thanks for the input @Antron! I think ill do a mock up on the computer of the top 3 on the body and will have a final vote on them. Writing down 1 for Ulix.

I like the name LeRoy.

I'll add that vote to the list Mel! To recap:

Names I want your final opinions on: Echo Leroy Jazz Bruce Alpha Ulix Plexi Socket

Post your top 3.

Head ideas:

I like the last ideas.

Body:

Here is my final deign on the shoulders. The sides will be indented.

I need an arm design. Round? boxy? You tell me!

I like Leroy! Perfect name. :P

Looks like Leroy might win! Thanks aislinn!

alpha (bot)

Dewy.... :)

Ooooo Dewy is so cute Richard R!

Dewy is a good name! I'll call him that until I get his basic shape coming out and then will make a final name vote.

Heck, you're a teenage boy. Why go for cute? Why not name it after the first female robot ever and one of the most powerful iconic images in the history of film. "Maria" from the 1927 silent film Metropolis.

Here's Maria's transformation into a humanoid:

Here's a little cut from after they transformed her into a humanoid. I had to laugh at her dance and the way the men were losing it over her in this one. Reminds me of myself in my teenage years:

Enjoy!

I got my shipment in! eek :D

2 ez-b's 2 l298n's 2 heavy duty servos 1 micro servo 2 cameras

happy building :D

i thought only the v4 are chipped?

Sweet Tech :)... like Christmas in June... have fun...

That is great Technopro, I bet you are so excited to start your new build!

@nomad18.08 - We shipped EZ-B v4s, Cameras and Developer Kits in the early batch. The only plastics included were the EZ-B and Power Base shells. In total, we shipped nearly 100 EZ-B v4's and 70 Camera's. There were about 70 orders total in this batch.

Now we are preparing for mass production! The samples have come back from our factory and they are looking great We will share another quick update video next week.

Final post in this thread:

Sorry about this extra space in the forum. I realized that the "penguin idea" isn't in play anymore, so i'm scrapping it. I'll continue posting in the "Rover AD" thread, Even though he will be called Dewy.
