Hey everybody,
You have to check his blog http://westhierry.net it's really amazing what you can do with cut2d and cut3d. I saw this on the vectric forum http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=10351 yesterday. Check it out.

Looks good. What do you do with it now that it is built?

If you like sci fi, this is the ultimate toy... Its also a fun project to do. I am making all the tutorials and gcode available as I build him. This is my 5th droid by the way, so I have a bit of experience in doing this :)
thanks
