Futuristic Technology 9

For my final piece in my futuristic technology project, I decided to create a small robot that would move using cogs. I got a wooden frame and began to make the inside of it using the cogs and testing it to make sure each part moved at I wanted it too and without breaking. I then added the arms, I used two smaller pieces of wood that connected on a join for each arm, which I then further decorated to appear robotic. I added wire, circuit boards, chicken wire, and chargers. These arms would spin around when all the cogs spun, I used my previous work of the spinning arm to help with this. I then added the legs, also wooden pieces connected at the join, I then added multiple pieces of metal, more wires, and circuitry to create kneecaps and the legs appear mechanical. I then moved onto the head, I used a plug which I had cut the wire from for the shape of the head, adding magnets and smaller circles of wood for the features as well as copper wire on top of it. To counter-balance the weight of the head I added a battery at the back which then had smaller pieces of metal attached to it, this created the look of a battery pack which I then added wires coming from to make it appear as though it was the power source of the robot. When the bottom cog of the robot is spun, the arms will spin around and so will the head, creating the feel as though the robot comes to life.
