HA8 Task 5

Production log

This was of course updated every week during the entire course. I noticed that I was rapidly reaching my deadline, and there was a lot of work I hadn't done at that time.

These are the robots I thought about during this task. I wanted a companion who you could feel a connection with, who you could care about, and who would be loyal to you. But at the same time, I didn't know what I wanted since the possibilities are endless with what I could create.

I made four designs that I really wanted to make or I could put onto paper. I had an extremely articulate robot who could do almost anything you wanted; a roomba which could play music, hoover your floors, and also hold your drink; a very generic robot who would do simple tasks; and a broken, battered and ruined version of the same robot who is hanging on their last piece of power. I guess you could call the last one a metaphor for how I didn't end up using it.

As you can see, I first started with the heavily articulated one, but decided it'd be too complicated to draw. I then decided simplicity would be the best course of action, and would benefit me more in the end. I went with the Roomba instead, as I knew he wouldn't take me long and had less complicated shapes.
