The Upper body and Head

The upper body is completed which will connect directly on top of the last section.

Pieces with holes were specifically chosen as LED lights are going to go into side each of the hollow chambers along with the motors.

Finally the head is done. The idea is that it will house the chip which will control everything. Also hoping to stick some LED lights inside as well as motorising the glass to open and close.

Its pretty damn tall in relation to its base dimensions so a concern was stability but so far it seems to be holding steady with no problems. Still when its done the front will end up with more weight on it.

Next goal is completing the arms so I can begin figuring out the technical side of things. If anyone knows anything about robotics particularly with the functioning of the arms (which I am aiming to move and pick things up) knowledge would be appreciated :)
