The Origami Forum

The topic for this month is robots. Design a model that depicts a robot... real, fictional or one of your own devising... past, present or future. Any robot.

Some usual rules apply:
one sheet only
no cuts allowed
folded from a square sheet
must be a new model, designed this month
Lephantome92 will judge this month's entries

PS: You'll note that I've changed the wording of the title from folding challenge to design challenge. I did this to clear up any confusion those new to the challenge board might have and I hope this naming convention continues past this month.

I got a good idea for this one!

^ Me too. Let's see if I can get it designed. (;

Can't wait to see what people submit!

For my (first?) submission, I came up with a design for a drone, specifically a Reaper model drone



Here's a different angle to get a better idea of the tail fins:



And here is a close up of the nose to show that I even put in a little camera:

On a couple of occasions I designed my own robot models. I made a cyborg and a robot rat. Lately I have been watching robot wars. I wonder if I can fold Razer or Stinger.

Hi this is my alien robot. Hope you like it.

Here is mine:

Do you have a copy of the image elsewhere? It doesn't seem to be displaying, and I'd hate for that to cause you to drop out!

To everyone working on submissions, just a few days left!

It was working before

I thought about doing K-9 from 'Doctor Who', or one of the robots from 'Mystery Science Theater 3000', but settled on a Skutter from 'Red Dwarf'.
