Hi guys, this is my entry in the 2012 Halloween contest. This is my 3ed Giant Bumblebee Robot. I hope to have learned a few lessons from the first two.
Goals for this new Robot
1) Lighter and easier to use- I find I am spending more time in costume than ever before, and I hate the "crippled" feeling the next day
2) More movie accurate- My 2ed BB could transform, but I had to make many changes to make that happen, and I feel it cost a lot in the "looks" department
3) More reliable-My first 2 costumes were made to last a week of contests in Vegas-Now I need a costume that can take week after week of use and not need constant repairs.
4) More independence-on my last BB costume, I had tons of lighting, witch meant that when I got into him. there was an additional 7-8 min of plugging stuff in by a helper.
New costume should allow all lighting to be plugged in by the performer
5) Agility...most giant robots are statues...looking great in a photo, but unable to handle the basic challenges of were they might be used...stairs/escalators/elevators/the need to sit/ getting into and out of in a reasonable time....I have already learned how to overcome most of these challenges, but I seek to push myself further
Well there it is...those are my goals....I already started a thread about this, so I am going to repost the stuff I already put in. Sorry about the copy
EDIT: I already posted some of these photos...how do I repost them ?
