Awesome! I tried making one when I was a kid - out of 1/2" plywood. Got 2/3rds of the way there (main casing and legs). Would have killed for this. Great work!
In the movie, how did they get the drones to work? What made them move? Was there someone on them that made it walk? How, when the legs were wide set?
@walter0bz; #3 is Radiation Free & will rondevu post 11-1-10's launch with STS133 / ISS to be fitted as the upper torsoed Robonaut begains to take over 'Domestic functions' & 'external maitenance'.
Wow. You probaby could make/customize one into a costume for an amputee, which is whom they used to play the roles of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Great work!
I am doing a doc on the film. What is your favorite scene or scenes from the movie? What do you like about the film? Would you rank it in the top ten sci-fi movies, what #? If they mad a remake who would you like to direct it and play Freeman Lowel, Brad Dourif maybe?
The scene where he plays poker with the drones and decides they are cheating is memorable. Or Freeman trying to teach them how to plant a tree. I don't think I'd put it the top ten sf movies, the music is awfully dated and the story has problems too. It would be a good choice for a remake however.
Good job!

The drones were occupied by amputee actors, (no legs) who walked on their hands.

I agree! While the movie is somewhat dated the design of the drones was brilliant.
