Last Week Revisited Part 2: Disaster Relief Robot

Disaster Relief Bot

Also last week, we gawked over a model of a Clear Cut Robot. Although we attributed the model design to Jordan Guelde, we got an email letting us know that it was in fact a group project and was co-designed by Daniel Shankland II. Two robots were designed with common components, and then each was specialized for a specific task. The second robot was specialized with an extra set of stowable arms to assist with disaster relief operations. Check out a few more pics showing the details on this model, after the jump.

Nice sculpture, would make a good lamp-stand. How is it supposed to walk?
