Combat Robot Concept (circa 2009)

3D Model

I was a huge Robotwars / Battle Bots fan back in the day, used to spend a lot of time doodling various concepts with pen & paper. One day I happened upon Rhinoceros 3D and used the free trial to flesh out my favourite design. I haven’t used or had R3D installed for years since newer versions had no free trial that was worth bothering with, but I did download 123D Design recently and decided to convert the file into a more common format- seems the file has a few rough edges but you get the idea- the bot is essentially a heavily stylised version of ‘The Master’, a big engine air intake and a wedge front end. Entirely impractical but I remember having fun creating it at the time…
