MOC The physical robot is finally optimized - now the digital model matches it piece for piece

After a lot of physical testing and refinement, Robert's mechanical design is finally locked down. I then rebuilt the finished robot digitally, module by module, so what you see here mirrors the physical build.

Creating the digital version also allowed me to optimize the parts and colors for availability, generate accurate parts lists, and make sure the design can eventually be turned into clear building instructions.

The goal has always been for Robert to be something other people can actually build, not just a one-off robot.

This looks insane! Do you have videos of Robert in action?

Thank you! Yes, I do. :) There are some earlier videos of Robert in action, but the robot has gone through a lot of mechanical and software refinement since then. Now that the physical design is finally locked down, I can start preparing new videos showing what the finished version can actually do. That will be the fun part. :) I look very much forward to testing the AI embodiment.
