Time to design the robot

The robot went through different stages of development. At first it was going to be human looking, so the surprise at the end was that the robot was in face a robot, but as the story developed so did the designs.

I wanted the robot to have a human feel, so that the audience new it was a robot, but that pigeons couldn't tell. It also had to have a look of not being quite right, i bit like a clown.

The idea for it to have "pest control" written on it came at the beginning as well. So the audience new what the story was kinda about.

I didn't like the fist design (top on), I thought it was too simple, not really scary enough. It was then when I started to look at old tin toys. I really liked there hand painted look and the way they where put together. I tried to get this look into the next two designs.

As this was going on the story was still developing. I'd decided that the robot should have some type of gage to help build up tension.

So I designed different types of gages going with the arrow one because that would be easier to make and would look effective.

I also tried out different heads, to try and get the sinister feeling I was going for. In the end I've gone for this design (on the left), as a feel that gets the look and feel of a tin toy, and would look out of place sat in a park.
