I started my research on sidekick robots by looking at images and created a moodboard. I looked at the different styles, sizes, purposes, textures etc of robots.

I did an ideas generation by looking at the different features of robots and what makes them unique in their own way but also similar. I looked at the eyes, body, shapes used etc and I put together a Word document showing the different features I picked out for ideas of what I will do with my sidekick.

After deciding what kind of robot I wanted, I created a design pack showing the front, side and back of the sidekick. I did this on a background guide made of squares and triangles to help keep the drawings I proportion.

I scanned the design pack into the computer ready to upload to Modeler for a guide.

Here I created a box using the box tool.

Then I created a cone using the cone tool and rotated it 180o to suit the body type of the sidekick.

I adjusted the cone using the scale tool to match it to the size of the box.

I then created another box using the box tool for the neck of the robot and I rotated it using the rotate ool and scaled it down to match the head.

I moved the neck underneath the head and scaled it to fit. I did this by putting the head on a background layer so I could see better what scale I needed the neck to be. I then selected the two layers containg the head and the neck and copied them into a new layer.

I then went back to the first layer and copied and pasted it into a new layer. This meant that the box I had created earlier was also in the new layer, I used the scale tool to make it bigger since this was going to be the body.

I did the same with the cone I first created and put the body in a background layer then scaled the cone using the scale tool to fit underneath the box, making the rest of the body.

I selected the two layers containing both parts of the body and copied them into a new layer.

I added the head to the body and copied it into a new layer. I did this by putting the body in a background layer.

Next I created the antenna by using the cone tool and the sphere tool. I created a cone and rotated it 90o so it was facing upwards, I scaled it down to fit with the robot by putting the rest of the robot on a background layer. Once the cone was in place, I created a sphere and scaled it down using the scale tool to fit on top of the antenna.

I wrote my evaluation, describing what went well and what could be improved.
