Production Documentation: final concept design



Using the previous inspirational images I aquired online, I came up with a creative looking robot CD stand.(Look at above sketch)

The Robot will be medieval in nature, because it's appearance will suggest so. The robot will hold a shield which will incorporate the custom CD case. Users will be able to slide the CD slot out from the shield and get the CD out or in.

Weapon:
In terms of appearance, the robot will use a chinese Halbard which the chinese hero Guan Yu uses in combat. It comprised of a long pole with a extremely large cresent-shaped blade attached to the top.

Face:
It will have eyes of a cylon shown in figure 6. It is a red horizontal strip. It looks sinister that way.It will also have a face mask plate hiding and guarding it's nose and mouth.

Body:

The body will be somewhat medieval english knight looking. It will have a simple body with a chest plate armour and shoulder pads displaying the holy cross.

Flags:
In figure 5 of the previous documentation, it illustrates a model of a japanese samurai on a horse. He is bearing a large tall banner on his back which represents his clan. I will use this idea and apply it to my robot and the flags will illustrate the different sub-assignments within that subject.

I will now attempt to work out the scale and dimensions of the robot parts including width, height, breath and angle of it's legs, arms, body, head etc...These dimensions will be the basis for my construction.
