Grumpy: Robot with some personality
[Thanks to jovel from the forums for submitting this!]
This is my power functions robot named Grumpy.
Like other robots he has some basic functions like:
- Driving back-/forward
- Turning
- Lower and raise his arms
- Open and close his claw to pick things up
But that wasn’t enough for me. I wanted him to have some personality. To do that I added some head movements. He can shake his head left/right and move his neck back- and forward. While driving he always looks in the direction he’s going. He can also move his eyebrows up and down.
