Space Robots from Outer Space

No truly awesome Space Robot Band would be complete without a really cool space ship. Made from tuperware, soda bottles, laser cut parts, old tubes and electrical components. I've got the basic assembly done, and painted in a flat base coat. I'm deciding how rusty it needs to become. All of the LEDs are wired up and work. There's a brightness control on the headlights and there are timers for turn signals. I added a license plate light too. I'm experimenting with adding more lights to the outboard warp drives. Oh yeah, almost forgot, the flux capacitor is turbocharged. I had to make a jig to make the louvers.

I made a video using my models. This video tells a story about the search for an elusive three dimensional toroidal attractor chaotic low frequency oscillator! (Sapphire Lark) The forming of the Space Robot Band, and almost running out of gas!
 
Amazing. First couple posts in this thread sucked me right in…looking to book tickets to the next show when these fellas are in town
 
I have not been real productive lately. I did do some work to Andy Amplifier. I'm adding LED eyes and some embellishments. Although he's primarily a keyboard player, he's showing off his new guitar. I'm rebuilding the arms so they move better, there was a lot of paint in the joints. I have a nice work bench, but it's cold in there, so I made a makeshift work bench in the garage.

Travelling in that van, they should call themselves the 'Combi Combo', or perhaps, 'The Westphellas'!
Thoroughly enjoying every aspect of this project!
Did you sequence the music track? Very Lo-Fi!
 
Nice work! Love the video too!

A human-less group. What is the robots intent? With music similar to Patrick O'Hearn and Rammstein on drugs. A Westphalia combo. Or Front 242 on acid... Somehow it reminded me of this...

thank you! I created the music on all the videos using VCV Rack. It's a virtual Eurorack synthesizer program. I kind of like the fact that it's a program creating the music, I.e. robots... Well I have fun anyway. :)

thank you! The robots intent is to play Space Rock music. They seek out otherworldly sources of tonal expression, and explore strange new sounds. Or something like that. Thanks for the interesting video link, and for the comments, which I will search for examples later.
