Using polymorph plastic, some curtain rods, electric screwdrivers, motors, and a complete lot of mad-scientist originality, an Xrobots hobbyist formed this organic-looking robot base. By means of wooden sockets and curtain rings as hip joint, that the designer is obviously going for a human-like individual of doom here. Knee joints are kept moving with four motors every while a network of bungee cords and strings will be act as muscles and tendons. Meanwhile, electric screwdrivers give power for rotation.
