Test Drive of the Daleks

http://www.stephenhobley.com/blog/daleks/

First real test of the Dalek under full RC control.

The only thing I didn't demo was the radio mic/ring modulator/light flasher - 'cos I couldn't think of anything funny to say.

One of the "bumps" is missing, this is actually the cover for the power controls. Once the Dalek is fully on, the bump can be replaced.

There is also a tiny wireless camera in the neck section with a mic.

can u get in it?

[shobley]

I can't, cos I'm too big, but a smaller person could, in theory...

[drewish]

that's totally great.

[shobley]

It's a bit slow at the moment, mainly because I'm only a learner driver.

I need to re work the stabilizers with some shocks...

[shobley]

Yes it does seem to have that wonderful 1970's Dalek wobble...

[sxdemon]

thats nice, the blue light makes the illusion of leviation

[forbinone]

Very nicely done it has the classic look of the Doctor Who enemy. The idiots who think its an animation must be so impressed at the wobble you put in as it goes over rough ground. Love the blue light curtain, reminds me of the stair climbing Dalek when the BBC got thier first HARRY effects unit. Wish I had made it. Very jellous.
