Robot Design



Builder Steve asks Clayton, "I’m intrigued to know how you design these robots. Do you use Meccano to test out varying options?"

Clayton answers: 
I've never had a Meccano set, but I think having one would have been a boon to my creativity.

I design in my head, then I draw, and test, and test, and test, draw some more and re-test.  Eventually I either give up, or have a success.

You can see one of my failures below.  Cracks me up every time I watch it.  Virtually nothing is successful the first time.
