Thank you very much!Your
Thank you very much!
Your robot (Volt) inspired me to make a higher one than what I was doing. Volt is awesome too!

Wish I had 2% of your talent. Great robot and super writeup.
Hey, ggallant! Thank you
Hey, ggallant! Thank you very much for the kind words!
Amazing
WOW, this is one amazing piece of work. Can’t wait to look this over in detail. Great job thanks for posting it. -Hal

Thank you very much for your comment!
Short Circuit Remake
Obvisouly the design is partly inspired by Johnny number five from the Short Circuit movies, but updates the look to something much more modern. This has me salivating to see either a third movie or a remake. Well done.
A Few Attempts at Words
Its hard to find adequate words.
Your best work to date in my opinion…that seems obvious and a very difficult task, as your prior work was exceptional to the extreme.
Inspiring. Visionary. …another amazing work of engineering and art.
It has me thinking more about my own latest design…about the relative merits of endo-skeletons vs. exo-skeletons. I have been doing exo…perhaps its time to go with more of an endo like you did…lighter is one advantage. I am sure I will revisit this bot’s page many times for inspiration. It is quite beautiful.

Your design process / software
Hi Dickel,
Brilliant work. I am pretty jelous to be honest.
I am curious as to your process regarding the mechanical design. Specifically how you are designing your models and exporting them to somethingt at can be made out of flat sheets. Are you using software like pepakura, or proper CAD software?
Any hints and tips regarding this?
Kind regards,
Duncan
Thanks!
Johnny number five is the “perfect” robot for me. Friendly face/head, functional arms, tank tracks… it’s always a big reference for me.
EDIT: Always thinking “one of these days I’ll build a half-scale Johnny 5”! 
Thank you very much!
I always like the mechanical and structural parts being apparent, but I had that chest in my mind for a long time, so decided to put in this project. That means the structural parts had to stay inside.
Your work is brilliant, Martin… so your words mean a lot to me. Thank you very much!
Hi, Duncan!First, thank you
Hi, Duncan!
First, thank you very much for your words.
Well, the only CAD/3D software is my mind! 
I mean at the design stage of the project I have everything drawn in my mind. Then I make some hand sketches. The last stage (of the design) is to make some 2D drawings… as you can see below, for the head.
We don't need 3D printers, sophisticated tools, advanced softwares... With just simple materials, simple tools, dedication and patience we can build everything! Imagine, plan, plan, plan, start to build, improve techniques... and you'll have something formidable!
EDIT: I forgot to mention... only in the chest was used Pepakura techniques.
Please take a look:
CAD tools
One of us may have the talent and skills to work without CAD tools but it isn’t me!!
