RFL User Molewhacker sent photos of the Scythe Wheel Robot
Molewhacker took the skins idea to an extreme and made a Roman chariot with NASTY scythe wheels.
check out the video on youTube of Chariot driving around.
Close up of the scythe wheels. It is a 6 pointed star with the points bent inward enough to allow the wheel to turn freely, and to cut up anyone unlucky enough to be nearby.
The AI-01's wheel is designed with 6 mounting holes that fit #6 screws. It's easy to mount stuff to these wheels.
Shot of the chest plate an shoulder pads. Made with Home Depot bought flashing (galvanized steel, 0.012" thick) first cut in the shape of the bot's chest plate and then pounded to add curve and shape. Notice the six pack.
The materials. Flashing from Home Depot (at 35 cents a sheet, mistakes and experiments are very affordable). A paper cutout of 6 point star used for template on the wheel scythes. Heavy scizzors cut this soft metal.
The back armor is cut into shape of the robot's back plate, and some bending adds curve like musular shoulders.
The cape was cut out of a red shirt (lightweight material so it billows for effect)...
...and then held on with magnets to the back plate. The flashing material is magnetic so it is easy to use magnets to add stuff.
