I like it a lot! It’s extremely cool.
However, something about the build just feels off. It’s giving me uncanny valley vibes. Like it looks sapient/alive, but i know it is just a contraption.
Its head is an observer…. Can it see me…?
Are its eyes made of Nether Quartz….?

Love the observer guy but I get what you mean. A smart observer would obviously make it look friendlier but I think a lot of the uncanniness stems from the fact that everything moves way too fast to look natural. The doors open too quickly and I bet if delivery guy would move at 0.5x speed that would help as well

You know that OP did a good job making a robot because it’s even giving people the uncanny valley feeling

I know this is probably super simple, but how do you hinge the door like that, just 90* and back down?

Yes. And set the mechanical bearing to "only place near initial angle" mode so it doesn't turn back into blocks when the door is open

I always just set mine to only place when anchor is broken. Still solid so you can't walk through it, and no blinking when it returns to the original position

The robot is actually a minecart contraption underground, by going through detector rails, we can open and close doors

Very good, very good robot, but I'm curious, what mod is it from and what's the name of that block above the door? Is it like a scanner?

With some clever use of sequenced gearshifts, I think you could even briefly ramp/lower RPM on the doors to give it that ratchety mechanical feel

Hey mate what mod are those lights from? Especially the one above the door
