Building my Robby the Robot

[mogrinz]

As I near completion of a project that's taken almost 10 years on-and-off... sometimes held up by other time commitments, technology gaps, my general lack of skills/knowledge, or "that other thing" , I thought I would summarize and share my progress so far:

Cheers,
Mike

(side note: I've had an account here for many years, and still get email notifications etc., but today when I attempted to sign in the name (mogrinz) and email couldn't be found. No worries, I'm used to starting over )

This is so impressive! I was worried about you getting in and out, but you did so very gracefully.

Awesome, man!
You've inspired me to get back to my 1/6 version of Frankie Darrow in the Robby suit. Just need to get his harness sorted, the original looked a rather awkward contraption.. lol
