that is amazing, some of the best robotic modelling and animation ive seen come from maya.
you have a very creative mind to make up all thoes joints and gears, i was saying "holy shit" by the second week progress already.

great work!
post more updates when you get them up!

i also applaud the effort and work you put into the reel and putting all the video together all organized for just a progress reel.
well worth the download!
