How to build a Gundam bigger than you

Sunday 21 January 2007 @ 2:50 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 2 Comments

Everyone loves big robots and in Japan there’s one word for big robots: Gundam. Gundam is the foundation of the whole mecha genre. Remember that post las summer about the 5 foot Gundam model? Well the Maru brothers, champions of the Robo One 10 competition have documented the whole process of building one in the web.

Don’t be fooled, this isn’t kids stuff, these boys are serious robot builders. They could very well end up bringing forth the rise of the machines in a few years.

    I thought the kids built it from SCRATCH, not from a gigantic pre-made model kit ¬¬

    Nah, its just a big, expensive model kit. They could probably build a real one from scratch given enough money! :P
