Week1 Lab2: Primitive Robot

I started off creating the head of the robot.

Then added the eyes, & i had trouble at first.

So i actually took a while to adjust the eyes into place.

As i moved on from the head, i was sort of familiar with some of the controls.

So forming the torso was easier. Just a simple cube & a helix.
However, the shoulder joints & arms itself took me a while. Because the rotation tool was a little difficult to use at first & the arms always seem to be a little out of place after adjusting them several times.

Now, moving on to the lower part of the robot.

Again, the legs & joints took a while to adjust into place but it was much easier after time.

So now here's the feet of the robot. This was easier to form.

& I finally finished FORMING this.


I feel like i've accomplished SOMETHING at least.

So now, here's the modified version of my robot.

I chose to go along with the character idea for Primmy.

So after Primmy circuit board was modified & the robot went into a "Protect&Survive" mode, i gave it sort of a weapon. As well as enlarging one of its hands & feet to give it more stability.

Also i made changes to its head & torso, replacing both polygons with a cylinder.

Instead of two eyes, i modified Primmy to have a single lens for eyes.

This is just a simple model of the robot since im still learning the controls & features of the application.

For it's new name, i'm naming it P01, which stands for Prototype 01.

I'm just going to let it be a mindless drone, programmed to to only what was being told. Depending how it's circuits were wired. It used to be able to think for itself but it's memories were totally wiped out after being rewired to only "protect & survive".

Here's a rough sketch of a companion robot for P01.

It will serve as P01's "mechanic" & doesn't have much defensive features.

Somehow while sketching, i thought of R2 from Star Wars.

So...It took me a while to get everything in place though.

Tried the Soft Modification tool for a bit & totally disfigured the legs at first.
Pathetic!

BUT IM FINALLY FINISHED. B|

Reflection - Okay, for this exercise... i actually had some difficulty at first since it's my first time using this software. Even though i have used Google Sketch before. This is like, different.

Initially i was having trouble with the controls, but after 2 hours, I FINALLY DONE THIS. It took me a while to get used to the interface though it proved to be an enjoyable exercise.
