The Glass Worker’s Assistant.
Favoured by the finest Venetian craftsmen, this dependable aide is more than just a complex piece of machinery – it was built to resemble a piece of art itself.

Hi, this is my entry - which, I think is quite self explanatory. :) It's supposed to assist farmers is sowing crops, and tries as much to be environmentally friendly, using solar-powered energy, and even gravity to help funnel seeds from its elevated "backside" down into the front. Talk about pooping "backwards". Also, a little straw hat just to give it that Southeast Asian vibe.... cause you know, it's where I'm from. HAHA. Hope you likey!

I immediately loved this design just now, especially some of the concept sketches, and then my heart sank a little. I just have to mention, my own later submission bears a few truly uncanny similarities to your design, and I wanted you to know that I hadn't seen your bot, or anyone else's, before I got down to creating my own. I absolutely love it though. Excellent work! : )

Odd bot of the deep.
Many divers send this fellow to scavenging adventures in the deep and unexplored parts of the sea.
I guess they all live somewhere in an oddbot submarine.
Here's my submission! Nicknamed "S001H-5AY3R", the government was finally able to decode this Contraptions speech after years of trying. This Odd Bot has the uncanny ability to spit out prophecies that always come true. The only problem..is that it just foretold the end of the human race.

Gorgeous design. Elegant, mysterious, and surely mesmerizing to observe (assuming the head loops are gyroscopic). Very nice work.

Definitely a robot... also clearly has "skin". lol. So odd and so cool.
Looks like it belongs in a high-risk deep-space or deep-sea biolab. : )

At first was looking for overall shape, but went with something entirely different

Hi everyone,
this time i wanted to create something original. What about a robot that is growing like a plant? Kind of crazy idea, but it really fascinated me and i had a lot of fun designing it. I even wrote a little description. Originally it was just for me as an inspiration, but now I think it would be a shame to not share it. So, for those of you who don't mind reading long text...:)
Introducing SSAW, the Scalable Seeded Autonomous Warmachine.
Ssaw is a robotic weapon mainly used for scouting and exploration activities although sworms of ssaws are capable of mass destruction. The seeds are deployed from a plane and after falling down in the ground they start extracting surrounding materials and converting them into parts of their bodies. After 2-3 weeks they are finished and ready to fight. For that reason ssaws are fairly cheap because you need just a fraction of materials you would use to create a normal robot to build their seeds and therefore they are widely used by several armies. The only disadvantage of ssaws is the incubation period that varies depending on the quality of the soil and in which is the machine completely vulnerable. Even after they are fully developed they can not resist much damage, but they are deadly fast, capable of jumping long distances and precise in their attack. In combat they use stinting by sharp tips of their tentacles and strong strangulation that can deform even a 15mm panzer. Their tentacle structure allows them to transform their bodies into any shape in the matter of seconds. Ssaws use this ability to confuse enemies in the combat but also as a mimicry. When the ssaw is damaged and escapes the combat it can always root back in the ground and recover as long as the seed remains undamaged. Therefore the only way to eliminate ssaw is to destroy the seed.

Water-Bot.
The main body produces an antigravity field which lets the water float. The surface tension of the water keeps the arms and legs in their place.
My Odd Bot Challenge Final Submission. My oddest bot. : )
Mycorrhizal Arboplexus Reclamation & Cultivation Android ( M.A.R.C.A. )
What does it do?
This robot’s purpose is to help the collective underground fungally-facilitated tree-root communication network (Mycorrhizal Arboplexus) experience increased functionality, optimizing tree-root networks’ abilities to aid member trees and local ecosystems.
It is a robot designed to interconnect, facilitate, and repair vast and potentially remote unconnected, expandable, or disrupted regional fungally-facilitated tree-root communication networks.
Programmed Functions:
- Perform ground-scans and mapping-logs for mycorrhizal voids and anomalies.
- Optimize site selection for soil extraction & seed-pod delivery via scanning and mapping.
- Prep selected site for soil extraction and pre-stratified seed-pod delivery.
- Extract and mix soil to render mycorrhizally enhanced pre-stratified seed-pod under-fill.
- Join mycorrhizally enhanced under-fill into full deliverable pre-stratified seed-pod.
- Deliver pre-stratified seed-pod.
- Map location of delivered seed-pod and ping network to schedule dendrone tending.
- Repeat cycle.
Onboard Equipment: Ground-scanning apparatus, Internal computer core, Remote network capabilities, Soil extractor, Fungal cultivation tank, Self-compacting soil mix bin, Soil testing bin sensors, Solar cell platform, Sensory & Guidance array, Seed-pod storage, Non-disruptive ambulation, Fine-motor manipulators , Pruning & clearing tools, Modular stability reinforcement, Versatile over-under frame, and Ambassadorial interface
