robothut Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Fresh from the shop oven, one wrinkle finnish conversion robot for David Kirk, the D.k.-B.S.-07 robot.So sorry David I just could not make myself build another Walking Radicon robot. I started too. I stripped everything downcut out all the holes and trimed the gear box and so on, but then I just could not do it. I felt the need to do just one more rotating barber pole in the legs type robot and I wanted to do just 1 more Moire art work in the chest robot, but this timeI wanted the art work to be rectangular and instead of rotaing the the background moire pattern I wanted to try and connect it to the leg drive and give it a back and forth motion. Then I have had this need to make rotating Radar eares for sometime now so this became that robot as well. The eyes are green when the power is off but bright red when the power is ON.The battery box and power switch are on the back side. Two AA batterys power the robot.Here is a video link of the robot in action.http://www.robothut.robotnut.com/dkBS07video.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kirk Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Incredibly cool! I love the rotating ears. I can't seem to make the movie work here, but I'll try it at the studio tomorrow, or better yet, maybe I'll just wait to see it in person. Thanks John, It's a beauty!

Tinman Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Great robot as always John! Question, do the battery doors fit with those "barber poles" installed and do they still rotate? I think they rotate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes RobotHunter that would be a great idea if I was looking for work, but I want to keep my robot conversions as a hobby and build bots only when I have a idea that I simply must build.Robot will ship this week David.

Rotate-O-Matic Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Magnificent looking robot Mr. Riggs! I hope to one day win one of your fantastic creations! I love the spider-web ears the best!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 He's arrived! The paint is very pretty—this guy works well with that wrinkle finish. The red is an elegant, slightly muted shade. My favorite bit is the spinning radar dish ears, though the moire' chest is awfully neat too, as are the spinning legs. I'm waiting to hear from John as to how he packed in all that motion. I can't believe how fast and well he makes these things. I can't wait to see what he comes up with from the dollar store. Thanks John, he's even better than I expected, and I expected him to be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
