Android - Lex
gort klaatu barada nikto
This one has been sitting in a ‘work in progress’ status for a long time and is possibly the most re-worked project so far given that the original version was pretty much abandoned and re-started.
The ball joints controlling the movement are supposed to be worked by magnets or internal ligaments. Because of some of the coverings on the limbs, the android does lack the full level of movement/mobility that your average human would have, this is something that if I re-visit this project at some point would be an area to tweak.
The design was also based around the idea of removing complexity where possible with things like:
what would be the upper spine is a single block
Dropping down to two fingers and a thumb
Removing the heel and foot and replacing it with a ‘blade’
The darker segments inside the ribs are supposed to be fuel cells that can be swapped out easily.
