Eagle Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I picked up a Metal House piston robot. This robot is beautiful. It has an 8 cylinder in it and runs as smooth as a 289 Hi Pro with a 650 double pumper and hookers. I'm serious guys, if you want a smooth running bot, buy a Metal House ! These things purr . But they have a real problem with ugly heads on these dudes. Spend all this time designing a great bot and slap an ugly pan fried egg eyed cheese head on it . Jeese oh Petes. So I had to add a B-9 type head. Nothing has been altered that can't be reversed. I'd rather have a fly eye on it , but I'm out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dratomic Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Bart -- I think Eagle's point is that he changed the head around...Looks interesting, Mark. Definitely stands out from a crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Doc, the point was that anything was an improvement . The factory chrome domes Suck !! This really is a great reproduction [improved] . These robots are great, but the head is so bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainwave Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I like it ! Not a design for everyone but different ! Would like to see a video of it , to observe the functions of the transparent head. I'm curious on what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimK Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I like it. Very big improvement. Did you get lights into the B-9 dome?JimK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yes there is an optical lens in the dome with a high intensity LED . Cyclops . ;) I can't believe how well these operate compared to the Chinese bots. Clockwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Robot and Son Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Nice job Mark. The box heads are definitely boring. The dome head looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 It just wasn't what I was looking for. Phase 2 has more of an industrial look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Mark, in my opinion #2 is a much better fit for the robot in shape and design. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Any time I don't get a good response from you I know it's bad and things need to be changed. Thanks !!! However I think the pistol is fine. Trigger or not !!! ^_^ Item 2 involves a rare Boeing 727 nav light. The item in question has a chip out of it that made it un-airworthy . The chip is hidden. Very expensive mod. This CAME OFF AN OLD TIGERS 727. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
