This piece was built around the same time that I was making a full size bike for myself.  Bicycles are a real success story in terms of mechanical advantage.  Seemed fitting that one of my robots should have one too.

Materials:

Electric grinder, boat motor, film editing deck parts, formica counter top, bike pedal cranks, vacuum attachment, circular saw, soap dish, meat grinders, child’s tricycle, motor, taxidermy eye, LED lights.
