Robot Hunting

We needed to find the perfect robots with all of the movements required in the video, so we decided to go shopping in our local town. We had some success and found some with limited movement and they were within the budget we had set ourselves. We decided as group that we could find the perfect robot with all of the movements required, so we went to Toys 'R' Us and found many different robots.  Transformers were the best type of robot that we could find. However, they have weapons in their hands which would not fit with our theme and idea for the band. We then looked at using meccano models, these would be very useful as they are easily dissembled and we could take its arm off, one of the shots involves the robot picking up his own arm. The only problem with meccano is that they are expensive in comparison to our budget, it is possible for us to cover these costs but we would be limited for funds thereafter. 

We then had the idea that other people may already have robots we could borrow, and so after asking around we managed to get our hands on two robots, they both have electronic movement and they are also free to move without power. However, we cannot take them apart, this makes them good for the band members but not for the main character. By using two robots acquired for free we can spend more money on the meccano models.
