Jungle Explorer Update!

Here is the more-or-less finalized version of the Jungle Explorer. This Explorerbot features hover fans for navigating swamps, a saw for cutting through thick vines and undergrowth, cleated feet, and tree-climbing spikes for tackling those giant jungle trees. Intrepid pilot Robin can grab her handy machete and binoculars when the need arises.

Explorerbots: Design Update!

Based on the feedback I've received so far, I've tweaked the designs a bit. Primarily the feet have been updated with more detailing, and the Space Explorer's rockets and Ocean Explorer pilot suit have been updated as well. New turnaround videos for all 'bots coming soon!

Jungle Explorer Design

Possible design for the Jungle Explorer. Not sure I will stick with the gigantic saw, but there was not a smaller one that looked good. I like how the hover fans and vents turned out. Pilot “Violet” has binoculars and a machete.

Ocean Explorer Animation

Here is a 360° turnaround of the Ocean Explorer. Will be creating this for other two Explorerbots as well. Fun what you can do with LDD and POV-Ray.
