Piece count: 5 pieces Tiny bot with a bit antenna. This bot demonstrates a nice use for the bulb cover w/ bar that I complained about on the Nu 1 post. It looks good and is a nice antistud-up build. Showcase Instructions

Piece count: 9 pieces Truly built from scratch. This barebones bot uses an interesting design for the legs, but doesn’t have much else going for it. Showcase Instructions

Piece count: 11 pieces A big bumbling buddy. This bot is actually the product of an event I participated in with the local LUG years ago. We had a large bin of brick for the public to use so I started messing around in my free time. I ended up with a large fighter craft, … Read more

Piece count: 14 pieces A tough fighter. I used an old school approach with this bot by centering it on a camera? Rocket engine? Add robot arms and an eye and you have a simple 4-piece bot (I don’t yet have that design uploaded, but it’s a subassembly of the Mu 1). The addition of … Read more

Piece count: 10 pieces All eyes and no mouth! This is an example of how basic parts can be used to create an interesting, if quaint, bot. The moveable eyes and twistable hands make this design more suited to play than display. I think it’s cute. Showcase Instructions

Piece count: 11 pieces A neat little bot. Perhaps a miniature Fighting Machine? The three sided weapon holder is a fantastic new element. This bot demonstrates its usefulness as a core, but it can be used many other ways. The stud, clip, and bar connections allow numerous possibilities. I’ve used this piece in greebling, creating … Read more

Piece count: 9 pieces A Roomba that’s been working out! I love this little build. Simple, efficient, and sleek. These parts are available in almost every collection and almost any color scheme is possible! A great design to throw on a ship or scatter around a landing pad, docking bay, or industrial scene. Showcase Instructions

Piece count: 12 pieces A sidekick with strong arms! Note every bot can pull off the delta look, but this one does a good job! The arms are fixed in place by the slopes beneath which make them look a bit beefy. The head can swivel so there’s still a neat play feature included. The … Read more

Piece count: 18 pieces Retro bot with a big eye! This build harkens back to the days when SNOT parts were far more limited. I like the slope on the back of the head. The rocket engine base helps give it a 50’s look. Showcase Instructions

Part count: 7 pieces An ugly little monster that looks like it’s ready to pounce! I was going for a monster vibe. The long low legs and elongated head are in that spirit. The weakness of this build comes from the eye and mouth. Different part choices there could really make this bot shine. Showcase … Read more
