Project goals

Three goals.One build.

01
Stay close to the original
Use parts backed by official evidence, so the mechanics, electronics, and software stay as close to the original design as we can get them.
02
Keep the process open
Share sourcing, manufacturing, assembly, tests — and the failures — wherever licensing allows, so anyone can trace and repeat the work.
03
Make it fun to live with
Turn the build into a real companion — new moves, games, and voice tricks, shared the moment they work on the robot.
