Machine Making Episode 9 | Mech bot

A Mech For The Road

This week on Machine Making, a new robot, and our first time building a mech.

A Redesign

This robot was a redesign from an early Mech that was made a couple of months ago. This initial design was built for a game engine, Gamemaker Studio 2. Unfortunately the design was not square, so as the robot moved through the world it actually crashed into wall and broke the collider scripts. 

Original Design - The width and the length of the Mech Bot do not match

For the new design I wanted to add some detail to the legs and the main section. For this robot to work in a game engine the width of the robot needed the same as the length so when it turns it does not collide into walls, or objects. 

New Design - Making sure the width and the length match

Final Render Test

Animation Test

This robot was pretty fun to make, please let us know if you have any questions!
