Description:
I need help designing a stationary desktop robot that fires foam missiles and I'm looking for an interesting concept design.This robot would sit on someone's desk, connected to a computer, and would have the ability to fire foam missiles, motion track, and talk. It would:
* Plug into a computer with USB
* Be a stationary robot with no legs, it would sit on some sort of platform and needs to stay balance as it rotates
* Have a motion sensor
* Have a small built-in camera
* Have LED eyes and maybe mouth
* Have an internal speaker for talking and making sounds
* Rotate left and right on its platform
* Have foam missiles either on its arms or on a separate missile launching arm. The arm they are firing from should be able to rotate up and down for targeting.
It should be between 13 and 17 cm tall and at least 10 cm across (roughly).
Wants:
I'm really looking for some creativity here. This concept is basically a cross between two existing types of products: (1) USB Missile Launchers and (2) "Desk Defenders."
* A USB missile launcher can be controlled from your computer and shoots foam darts
* A desk defender sits on your desk and "wakes up" when someone walks by. Then it will threaten them verbally (i.e. "You will be exterminated," or something similar.
I've attached some photos for you to get an idea of what I'm looking for, including some simple hand sketches I made (I'm not an artist).
I'm looking for a design that makes the robot look somewhat menacing, but also a bit funny/humorous.

Neutronix, I look forward to see what you come up with.
Thank you for your design, Aher C P.
Hi Billy, I have sent just concept model, if anything more let me know
This is very interesting project. I will be help you & send 3d model as early as per your requirement.
I think I am in as wel.
This is an intresting project.
This is an intresting project.
Thank you mcluka. I look forward to seeing your design.
Great, now I fully understand your requirements. I will post my entry on friday evening due to other work. Regards
Thanks for your comment mcluka. I will try to be more clear about what I am looking for.
At present, I do not need a fully working prototype, because I do not have the internal launching mechanism or electrical components.
What I do need is something that can be 3D printed and looks like it would work if you are just looking at it or taking a picture of it. I need this so I can try and get some interest in the project, before moving forward and actually developing it.
The functionality I need for this design is:
* It can rotate and stay in position if you move it by hand
* Foam missiles can be mounted on it and removed (But not actually fire). The missiles would rest on small "poles" like the ones in this picture.

* It should look like it has a motion sensor and camera (Represented by small indentations or bumps in the design).
* It should have small indentations for a speaker somewhere hidden
* It should have a place to attach some USB cord to the robot (non-working)
* I would also like a design the shape of the foam missiles. They could be around 6cm long. Examples:

(3) http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/$T2eC16h,!)8E9s4l90QlBQ+dtWNkuw~~60_35.JPG
The overall style that I want is for it to look like a futuristic military defense machine (but with an interesting personality), and with dark colors .
Basically I'm hoping you can make a good guess about how much space all the internal parts will take up, based on what is currently existing in the market. But it is not critical. The design can be modified later if the project moves forward.

Hello,
I am interested in to this task, but I need to know if you only want a design with a render, or does it have to be modeled in "product ready to be printed/made" way, so to have the right wall thickness, to have the correct spaces for inner electronics etc?

Garbage Disposal
Need to design under the sink garbage disposal unit. There are lot of garbage disposals made with a purpose of kitchen waste disposal. The envelope size will be around 6 inches in diameter and about 8-10 inches long. The unit will utilize 1/3 or 1/2 HP motor.
Smart City Sensor Wall Mount - IoT
We are building a "smart city" type sensor that will be located underground. It will have a wired connection to a Cellular Communicator that uses cellular networks to send the sensor data to cloud server. City employees will mount the Cellular Communicator to walls around the city so that it gets a strong signal. It could be mounted to the wall of a commercial or residential building, in urban or rural environments.
Pictures of the Cellular Communicator are attached.
We need a design for a plastic Wall Mount Bracket that will be used to attach the Cellular Communicator to the wall. We don't want it to stand out, instead we want most people not to notice it, and homeowners to not be bothered by it being mounted on their side or back wall! It should be easy to manufacture by injection mold, and simple to install.
Please provide image files and any neutral CAD file format showing your Wall Bracket design. Images should show how the Communicator fits into the Bracket, and how the Bracket fits against a wall.
shop mock up
HI i need few slides on a mockup for a shop front i'm opening.
I need to have 3 main area, On the front counter, bit of space on the left, a hot food display with the GN 1/3 total 6, followed by a hot grill plate around 65/60 followed by cool display for sald ingredient around 9 1/3 gn, so total around 1.1. mtr.

I have attached photo of the shop today,
We need to modify the shop name from Grill and go to "italian street food store, i attache the brand for porpoise.

Digital LCD Name Tag for wine glass
We are developing a digital “Name Tag” (LCD screen) for wine glasses that will communicate with a mobile app. so people will be able to communicate with the tag via their smartphone and find their glass in case they can’t tell which wine glass is theirs...etc.
We are looking for few design concept options for a prototype 3D design that we will print.
