So I figured it would be semi relevent to post here about my current sculpture project. I'm making a pneumatic "robot" of sorts that will be controlled via a playstation type controller. Basically it's a fighter that can kick, swing a sword, block, and twist at the waist. Here's a pic of the wooden prototype and what I have done of the metal one:



You can find more info on the project here:

So basically, when you are done, the robot will fight like you? hehe just joking.

That is a really ambitious project! Good luck on it!

You must make an army of them. The Ordo will be unstopable!

I trust the completed version will have spikes on it?

Here's some video of me fighting my project. It wouldn't work if I linked to the uploaded vid file so I zipped it up. Hopefully it'll work...

I think you better wear a cup when fighting that guy

Eric, that is awesome!!! Very well done!

You get an A+ from me! :D

I see it's programmed to use kicks to the nuts whenever possible, that's super awesome.

I seriously think that Ordo could make some bucks with the fighting robot at the next festival. Perhaps something that the younger kids could engage in. I believe it could work.

Is this a feasible idea Sir Eric? I entertain the idea of purchasing the necesary electronics, if I know what to get. Perhaps we could get the program too?

Like a mix between the starwars 'bots and ren faire. The nerd in me is quite pleased.
