Thank you very much,
Thank you very much, Martin!
Probably I’ll end up reducing a bit the scale… but really just a bit… because, you know, a big robot need strong servos, strong DC motors, big batteries… so I got to take care! 
Thank you very much for your
Thank you very much for your comment, fpictor!
so talented!
i check youtube twice a day for a new video!
good luck!

Hi, matana21!
Thank you very much for following this project! I’m not able to post as many videos as I’d like, but I guess next week I’ll have something new to show.
Looking forward to seeing
Looking forward to seeing those arms working. This looks set to be a pretty kickass robot capable of carrying out basic tasks such as picking things up and moving things around.
Will definitely be looking out for updates!
Thank you very much for your
Thank you very much for your comment, danphobic!
MDi #4 will have vision capabilities with the Pixy Image Sensor, and I’m thinking to make it able to track and pick up objects. Let’s see if it will be possible…
You do some amazing
You do some amazing builds! I look forward to seeing the final product on this. I bet it will be really cool.

Thank you very much, Bill!
Thank you very much, Bill! I’m planning many cool features for this project… well, at least in my mind it seems cool.

Which CAD Software?
Hi,
this all looks great! I am wondering what software you use to print the templates later glued/transfered to the polystyrol sheets for the various parts.
Thank you,
Ralph
That is just super clean
That is just super clean work. I need to buy some sandpaper.
What are your plans when he is operational? I could see it being used as great promotional tool, robot educator for kids, and could even hold a vacuum cleaner hose or a leaf blower (probably too much thrust for the servos for that one).
Totally awesome!I make my
Totally awesome!
I make my robots look handmade out of junk, because it’s easier and because they actually are.
Animatronics
No doubt about it - you need to get into animatronic prop design. You’re good.

Beautiful, Inspiring, Amazing, and Functional. Robotic Art of the first order.
I personally get inspired by each and every one of your designs. I hope you keep at it for many years to come.
Thank you very much,
Thank you very much, Ralph!
No CAD software here, just my mind … well, drawing tools from Flash CS3 to make 2D templates. Certainly it sounds a bit strange… but I’ve been using it for this purpose for about 4 years… and it’s working fine for me. (Actually Flash I use for more than 10 years. So I’m quite familiar with it.)
promotional tool, robot educator for kids
Thank you very much, demej00!
"… promotional tool, robot educator for kids…": I hope to finish (or at least make it functional; at least locomotion and arms) till september, when will have a LEGO robotics competition for kids at a local university. I will not attend the event, but I like going to inspire children, make contacts… and how such event is rare here in the region, I have to take avail.
Martin (my little boy) is becoming interested in robots. So MDi #4 will be a great tool to take he into robotics.
And, finally… those hands will serve me drinks (nonalcoholic).
Thank you very much,
Thank you very much, Jim!
What better material than junk? I like it!
Re: Animatronics
Thank you very much, Cbenson!
In 2014 I was very tempted to build something really BIG and I became highly inspired by this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFwEiG4I-Wg). Then I started some fiberglass work for it… but ended giving it up, because it seemed to me an endless project, with high costs.
A project for the future…
Thank you very much, Martin,
Thank you very much, Martin, for your always kind comments.
My projects, after a while, always end disassembled… with its parts being used in new projects. But for MDi #4 I defined previously that I’ll keep it assembled.
Large Robot
I have absolutely no doubt that you have the skills to do it, it becomes a question of finances and ensuring you set aside the time to complete it. If you did ever start something along those lines, it would be nice to see you create it in such a way you could produce a small production run - even hire someone to make copies. Many people want large robots.
