So I'm building this giant robot...

holy smokes, I thought it was 5 ft tall, that thing is HUGE! The articulation looks amazing. Color me impressed.

Thanks!

Here's some shots of the chest panel, since it's pretty dark in the video.

I guess I should post the video I just mentioned, since that was actually posted in another thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSAok9dpYwA&feature=plcp

Nice work! It looks very cool.

Now I want a beer...

and a trunk monkey for the Zombichero

Only through page one, but you need at least onebottle opener on the head.

Good work, Corey. You've obviously been working very hard and have good reason to be proud of that work. Many people can't say that.

Thanks. I really appreciate that. I've put so many hours into this freakin' thing, and it's finally leaving this weekend! I stopped by the brewery to check out his spot last night, and he's definitely going to a good home.

Are those capacitors wrapped in copies of the can labels?

That is one of the coolest things I have seen. Well done.

Brilliant!

theat is some awsome E36 M3 right there!!! even my mental health consumers love it!!

one just asked if he could get one for christmas. i think hes joking.....

please tell me you can do some motion activiated voice stuff to make it mess with the drunks....

I'll build him one, but it won't be cheap!

There might be some motion sensing revisions in the future, but not right now. But yeah, that would be fun!

Forgive me if you mentioned it already, but do you have something like a service contract lined up for him? Might be worth having that discussion sooner rather than later.

No I don't, but that is a good idea. I did stamp the bolt sizes on the access caps to all the joints, so if he ever loosens up it's pretty user friendly to fix, but that is probably something that should be discussed.

We have briefly talked about doing a Tin Man car, so that will be fun if it happens! I have a feeling this robot might get me quite a few jobs from them, as they've been completely blown away thus far.

Quick update: The robot has been installed since their opening, and he's been a huge hit! We didn't make a "service contract", but I offered to write up a maintenance manual so their employees could do simple tightenings, or I could maintain/repair it at $35 an hour. They agreed on the latter. They said since I built it, they'd rather not have anyone but me work on it. I've only had it in for repairs once since their opening in November for a broken weld and to tighten a joint, and he's being posed several times a day, everyday since opening.

In the mean time, I get pretty funny pics of the robot randomly emailed to me or posted on my facebook wall. This one's titled "My beer in a box".

This was me at the soft opening, with the robot proving how "metal" he is.

The barrier thing wasn't in yet at the pre-opening. That's why he's surrounded by shrubbery.

Here he is playing the finger circle punch game, or what ever you want to call it.

There have also been quite a few that were much more inappropriate for a family forum. I'm not posting them because of that, I just can't find them right now.

Maybe it's because I've been playing with vacuum tubes lately, but that thing needs a vacuum tube glowing from the inside.!

I like it!!!!

That is simply awesome. Also, best thread title ever.

Glad to hear he's a hit! Looks like they've got him waiting tables when things get busy enough..

There has to be a facebook page for the tin man right?

This. There MUST be a Facebook page for him.

Why didn't I think of that?!?!?! The company does, but he doesn't have his own. But yeah, he definitely should. https://www.facebook.com/tinmanbrewing?ref=ts&fref=ts

Lookin good.

I was bored today at work so I made this page to chronicle my building of ridiculous crap. Like it if you wish. https://www.facebook.com/pages/CWK-Heavy-Industries/470887382964312?notif_t=page_new_likes
