In regard to what is shown, some time has been taken to refine an earlier mech concept devised and archived under the “props” section of the Marc Forza Design blog.
[Mech Concept 2 that is indicative of biomimicry, in the sense of adapting the anatomies of a spider, orangutan and crab]
[Demonstrating the functionality and capabilities of Mech 2 and above are two loose compositional ideas to place Mech 1 in a scenario scene] The first mech is a re-design of the figure 1 concept, archived under the “props” section of the blog. It is indicative of biomimicry, in the sense of adapting the anatomies of a spider, orangutan and crab. The mech is designed to traverse all terrain and inclines with it’s spider inspired limbs. The orangutan part of this mech is present in the mech’s altered form, from crawling to an upright position, mimicking the ape’s gesture. When in it’s upright position, mechanical legs rotate rapidly on a movable platform tangential to the circular cockpit. The force generated by it’s legs rotational movement, allow the mech to travel at high speeds and inadvertently acts as a weaponised drill. Also when the mech is in it’s prone position, it can channel it’s legs to drill under ground.
Currently still under development, this project will be documented weekly until it’s completion.
[Further investigation into the cockpit and two sections of Mech 1's arm and leg]
The second mech is, as said earlier a further investigation into the form and function of last week’s shown design. At this point in time the cockpit and two sections of the mech’s arm and leg have begun to be re-addressed. It too is still under development and it’s progress will be shown next week. Remember to stay tuned every Friday for when this will be updated with new content.
