archetype Finally Complete

Doombot

USA

Well it's never really complete right?

Here's my first (whew!) fully working droid, "Archetype". As you can see its somewhat EZbit "friendly" so room for expansion is possible.

I hope you all like my style...back to the old way of doing things, without 3D printers. Having said that, I have to credit Richard R for the ezbits.

Enjoy, and comments and suggestions are appreciated!

As of right now, I can't use everything at the same time, since it causes the ezb to brown out. I have also done the super cap fix, although it helps, I still only have a 2 amp voltage regulator running everything. That's only temporary of course. Once I get a higher amp battery I'll post some videos.

@doombot, Lol I thought it was a full-size robot now is not so scary. I love the mask well the whole robot! You are definitely an Artist.

Looks awesome. I wouldn't have expected anything less from you though. Great job.

@merne Thanks haha!

@JustinRatliff

Parts are everywhere man! For example the head is made out of a plastic egg, toy laser gun handles, an ultrasonic distance sensor ezbit, flashlight parts and a plastic box. Look closely. I frequent dollar stores a lot , Salvation Army, goodwill, etc. for old toys and interesting parts. Armed with that and a glue gun, top that with silver spray paint it's an industrial mess! Haha

@Doombot You sure do make an entrance man... Archetype is now officially my fav of your bots. So dudes like me that have zero creative ability need 3d printers to compensate for lack of design skills. LOL... As usual you still design an build the best looking bots on the forum...:)

Fantastic looking "BOT" ! Great to see you back.. Your abilities to develop these true robot looking creatures is really great. Their character always comes through.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a great looking robot! Awesome eye for details. Yeah thrift stores and dollar stores are a great place to find materials. I am always on the look out for potential robot body parts. Great job. Looking forward to videos!

Geez thank you @Richard R, @ ANDY, @rgordon! It may look like it, but I don't really just put this stuff together. I spend a lot of time getting things to look like how I want them too...yes personality is very important.

I'm working on this bot's functions now...I must say even a simple distance sensor "radar" function looks so ominous on this bot...it reminds me of a cross between the Ed-208s (from the robocop remake) and Boba fett...
