metallicjet,

The only real crit I would have is the intake fan is too large...

Its only a personal thing, other may disagree, but that's cool.

Other than that I think you have done superbly.

Take all the praise and credit, but remember to thank your freind for his advice. High Praise to you and keep it up. Hopefully we should see a nice short from you...

Enjoy

Very nice. I like the arms modeling, but can you change the color on them? The white/gray for some reason just makes them look a little off from the rest of the model. But besides that, nice color scheme!

Yeah the arms complete the robot. A different, more suitable color would fit here, maybe the acid green from the wires, or some sort of dark color.
Other than that, it looks just amazing, one of the best I've seen in the challenge atm user added image

ok, i rendered the left side of the bot, i occured some problems, but they are easy to be fixed, so after i fix them ill show this position of the bot so u can compare their diff. and then im gonna have a little detail on a dome for the bot to be in, and then if time opens up for me, ill animate this baby!
