leigh-face

Leigh

The day I welded Leigh I said to myself “today I weld in color”. I’m so proud of her attitude: confident yet demure. Her skirt is made from a large bearing that spins in either direction. Her red-handled scissor-wings used to a tool of SCUL, but someone (*ahem*) abused it and broke a tip.

I tried to weld as to keep the heat to a minimum, in order to keep as much of the original parts’ paint.

dotti-face

Dotti

Dotti is appropriately named for her extensive rivets, but she’s actually named after my grandmother, Dorothy. She’s very tall for a Mercury Class Astrobot: 20″ inches. I love her sense of wonder. Her skirt is made from square nails. Her knobby knees are made from hex and acorn nuts.

Archer

The 200th bot to roll off the Skunkadelic production line! Archer will always have a special place in my heart: a real milestone. I love his smile. It’s amazing a bullet lamp from a heavyweight cruiser bicycle can smile so sweetly.

Archer’s ribcage is made from old box wrenches, reminiscent of a band-uniform. He’s a lot heavier than he looks!

Weight: 67.2lbs.

Romer

Personality Traits

Romer is somewhat of a pseudo-intellectual, yet thoughtful and eager to help around the house, or to listen to you talk about your day. He’s reasonably baggage-free, but sometimes spaces out for hours on end. Romer prefers to keep the little problems he has to himself. He eats like a bird, in the sense that he leaves crumbs everywhere. He likes getting out of the house once in a while.

Bing

Bing is an articulated and poeseable TIG welded Proteus class robot. Serial Number B195120131. As you can see, he’s quite spry.

 

Bing has a special feature: his body contains a typewriter bell, activated when you flick the strategically placed lever. Yes, I went there.

Hathor

Hathor is by far the fiercest robot I have built. Named after the Egyptian goddess of warfare and alcohol. Best in show Arisia 2009 and 2011.

The eyes are held on by two powerful rare earth magnets inside her head, allowing changes in facial expressions.
