Elevator Pitch
If you like BIG ROBOTS 🤖 please watch this “elevator pitch” video for a basic overview of the project! Sorry, I know 15 minutes makes this the longest elevator ride in history…1.75X speed is your friend.
Project Overview
Collab 2022 is a return to a modeling-centric team project. Here’s the main points:
- A spiritual successor to the backhoe of 2020
- We will be building a detailed MECH piece by piece, as accurately as possible to its realworld counterpart. However since huge mechs aren’t real, the realworld counterpart is a plastic model kit.
- In addition to the robot we will be building a HANGAR environment
- To facilitate a more realistic assembly animation we will need to design, model, rig, and animate machines to promote the illusion of our mech being assembled.
- Also for the sake of a more compelling assembly animation, we will need to design and create an “endoskeleton” for the mech: the internal bits to complete the illusion.
