Description
Inspired by Zenta 's works and the awesome Zoobotics I saw on the Maker Faire in Hannover. This little hexapod is capable of transforming itself into the shape of a pentakis dodecahedron for protection, easy transport and geometric simplicity.I'm focusing on product and graphic design right now, there is more on my blog if someone's interested.

As a Doctor Who fan... I highly approve of your design!! It reminds me of the Mechenoids!Β alteredvistas.co.uk/assets/imaβ¦

The design is so sleek. It has that special ops feel to it.
I can picture it clambering to its destination.
Really cool

The design of this bot is very sleek. I can picture it rolling to a point then clatter its way to its destination.

i feel like if rubiks went into robotics they would make something like this.

So makes me think of these "snake" toys from when I was a kid...

How awesome.. This bot is actually inspired from a toy I've seen somewhere. Must be a quite similar principle.

Mebbe. The toy was a long "snake"Β that the elements turned on the "triangular axis".Β IIRC they came in the form of a "ball" and one of the big tricks was to make a cobra snake from it.Β I seem to remember them mostly being white and either red, green, blue, black and later on pink, neons, and metallic.

Sounds a lot like the thing i saw. It was black or white and consisted of something like pyramids with rhombic bases.

An interesting design. Just a concept, or do you have a particular use in mind for it?

Maybe a little robot friend?
I'm just trying to get away from militaristic concepts towards peaceful product designs while keeping some of the asthetics, so it's merely an experiment.

Thank you!
Oh no I'm sorry. But maybe a physical model in the far future.
