I designed IQ as a proof of concept robot.It is made of foam core 5mm thick board with .020 styrene plastic sheet overlays. He is 4.5 feet tall and can telescope its head another 8 inches using a camera tripod with motor drive. There is a windows 8.1 tablet installed on its chest. Power comes from a lithium battery pack for drive wheels and a 12 vdc sla battery for the electronics. The EZB 4 is connected in client mode. It is designed not to tip over with anti tipping brackets beneath the lower frame..The movement speed is moderate for stability. The arms are from a Robosapien that i received that did not work.I gutted the arms and installed 3 servos for each arm .It can rotate its arms ,elbows and open and close hands.

Dunning-Kruger's Ez Dog (Inmoov Frankendog Failure)
Pretty much a failed experiment for many reasons, but I already have ideas on a new version....
I am not sure what robot is best.But one using EZB 4 makes the best robots..What type of robot are you wanting to make?
@alankoenig If you and your mom are tech savvy (good with computers) then perhaps one of the EZ Robots might work... Roli, Six or JD...
If you are new to robotics.I would definitely recommend one the of the revolution robots...If you really want to be creative you could build any robot size or size using foam panels cut and glued together...Dont know if your mom would let you use hot glue gun....You built what you want and then control it with EZB 4 controller..Let us know (community) if you require assitance for build. Lots of great people on this site with many skills and talents.
Thanks for the ideas. I think I will start with Six, or Roli.
RB550f Great concept robot. I can see you put much time into your project. I remember the cool large foam robot you made with your grandson. I like how you fit servos into the Robosapien arms. Looking forward to videos. Steve S
Steve s Thanks for the reply.It took 3 months to cut and glue and trim all body parts.I do not have a 3d printer,but I like creating parts with my own two hands. And thank you for remembering about the foam robot i made. It is nice to be appreciated.
@rb550f That's a good lookin robot ya got there! I was intrigued by your drive motors. I have 4 just like them that I got 34 years ago when I was working on one of my first robots. It was a Unicorn 1 that was being featured in Radio Electronics magazine. I still have all of the magazine articles that covered how to build the entire robot step by step and where to order all the parts.
I have been thinking of using them again in a new robot I am planning.
@rb550f, That is a brilliant looking robot, it looks so neat with all the illumination!
