Iron Rocket

My current project for Intermediate Ceramics is to construct a robot with a defined purpose. I chose to build I robot who fights of invading aliens. It's simple concept with a lot of room to play. Inspired by toys and cartoons shows from my childhood, the Iron Rocket comes stomping through the ruins of a city, hunting for the invaders.

Shown below is the model I built first to figure out some of the physics that would go into the construction of the full size piece.

Pictured here is another view of the final construction.
