It looks pretty cool!
Should I mention that it can't fly? As soon as it lifts off, the body would begin to spin in the opposite direction, effectively halving the rotor's speed . . . and it falls back down.
Love the look, though.

Yeah, someone else thought that too. BUT what you cant clearly see here (but you can in other pics) is that i have jet exhausts in strategic places along the body so that the high pressure exhaust will stop the body from spinning.

love the detail in this one, and the folding rotor prop array is a sweet feature.
these four legged spider mech's are very similar to a basic design I've built out of lego, four articulated lags, attached to a compact chassis, and a sensor/weapons turret on the top, additionally the legs could rotate enough to allow the robot to turn on the spot simply by reorienting its legs while its moving.
I've managed to reproduce the design into a program called TABS at school, unfortunately, TABS is a Geometry mathematical program so all of the crude 3D models I've made in it are useless, since they cant be viewed without loading them in the program.
i would actually like to know which program you use for these.

Glad you like the mechanism - the program i use is free and is called sketchup.
