Cartooning is a long-standing personal passion that makes it easy to communicate ideas and emotions.
Cartoon robot dogs led to working models and 10 iterations later Cog The Dog was born. A 25mph remote controlled hot-rod dog with 6 servos, articulated head and mouth and traffic-friendly lighting. This model-hack is 99% Tamiya + 1 metal plate and lots of custom controller programming.
