my custom teeny tiny rc fpv mech (z-knight)

[jimmyhackers]

i had this toy as a child, its called a z-knight. all it used to do was walk forward and wiggle its arms. (similar thing to a zoid)

ive ended up puttings servos in its arms, wheels on its feet. a tiny first person view wireless camera in its head/cockpit.

its fully remote controlled and i have a pair of goggles to get a "true to scale feeling" cockpit view.

i made the sword blade a box cutter knife, and intergrated a working miniature flamerthrower into the shield.

is great fun to have a romp around in a papercraft town. (to-scale paper printable buildings you cut out, fold and glue)

any other mech pilots out there?

That's cute. How about a video showing the flame thrower in action burning one of those paper buildings?

 

[jimmyhackers]

not quite the flamethrower in action but i found this old pic of what i see in the "cockpit" view through my goggles.

bonus points if you can name my advisary
