Description
Here's the full design for the Steamer
[link]

It's not much, but it shows the height, the leg placement and lengths, and the width of the machine pretty well.

Info:
In the pre-colonization age of Toria when the planet was still young, alien terraforming robots roamed the surface, working to make the planet habitable. The race to whom these robots belonged never claimed the planet, and left the robots to work until their fusion cells died.

This particular robot collects sediment from the planet's surface and extracts atmospheric gases from it, then releases the gases into the atmosphere. The most common robot, thousands of these would roam a continent at a time.

Specs:
Approx. 15ft (5m) tall
Top Speed: 30mph
Runs on a deuterium-lithium-core fusion cell with auxiliary solar cells (Thanks to ~Mechatherium for the suggestion)
Lifespan: Between two and three thousand years.

The purple things on its sides are air sacs that pump the gasses extracted from the ground into the air. The holes on top of the machine are vents through which the gasses exit.

The small arm underneath the machine is used to test the ground for the required chemicals. When satisfctory sediment is found, the Steamer fills the chamber on its underside with the sediment and extracts the elements necessary to make CO2, O2, N2, and Argon gasses, along with water vapor to be condensed and deposited back into the ground.
--------------------------------------------
Before you comment, I know this is full of inconsistencies. I threw it together in 20 minutes, flaws are to be expected.
