K-9 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The body looks great Brian! Are you going to carry over the more three dimensional looking eyes and mouth grill to the final version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 The camera has flattened the face detail, K-9. I'm just working on a simple mechanism to move the guns. I should have done it at an earlier stage. Now it's more awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 There's a second robot in the series, the SPARK-X. The box artwork produces a rather impractical long-armed robot with a wonderful grinding wheel in the chest. Great fun to build: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick_B Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I like how you just sprung Spark X on us. No fanfare, no build up, just ho-hum here’s another wildly cool build, just whipped it up without a thought. another winner! love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'd love to make a run of these but at the moment I'd rather work on some new models. If I get the time and energy I'll get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Robot Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Fantastic work, Brian! Your stuff started at impressive, and just keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 The smoke mechanisms finally arrived from China. They are mist generators and are very cheap. They happily run off 3xAA cells and there's plenty of power left for the walking mechanism. There are a couple of issues. First, you need to be able to access the tiny on-off switch on the electronic board. To achieve this I've turned one of the ear antennas into a simple switch. The mist unit is either fully on or in an intermittent mode with 10 seconds of smoke followed by a 5 second pause. Second, you need to keep a long wick in close proximity to that circular metal disk and keep it damp. I've made a sealed tube that can be easily topped up with water. Well, now King Smoke is living up to his name. You see the smoke best against a dark background in the first few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Here's a closer view so you see the strength of the smoke stream. The ear antenna connects with the switch. It's well concealed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
