Size comparison: Xevoz to ModiBot X figure frame
Direct comparison between ModiBot X (with xevoz compatible grip, ball joints and peg holes) and the Neo Sapien Alpha. Not as much mass and shorter in the legs. Maybe 3/8” difference in overall height, but Mo is a lot skinnier. maybe not perfect for all you Xevoz fans, but worth a gander to be sure.

ModiBot on YouTube
After meeting with Drew Bennett from BenSpark.com the other day, he suggested posting a video of me putting the newest kit together. That dude is smart about the blogsphere, so I threw one up. I guess I’ll see if I can drop this into my Hex model page on Shapeways, also.
ModiBot Logo
One more step in the process, BEHOLD the ‘essentialist’ logo! Not the most jazzy thing in the world, but playful, retro, and most importantly, done. Generated a couple QR codes for the future KidMechano.com and ModiBot.com sites.

Matched up the parts pretty well (all with new X ball design, open sockets, and cruciform shafts). Just noticed that I didn’t cruciform the wrists on my hand parts, but that will have to […]
Complete posable figure
Big Balls. That’s a problem. Another round of parts. This time I upped the ball size to create more tension in the joint. That definitely worked, maybe a bit too well, so I’m going to bring the ball back down a bit. The one nice and unexpected side effect of the bigger ball is that […]
Possible improvements
Since we’re running with this whole ‘constant beta’ mentality that is being discussed a lot in the start-up world, here’s a few new updated parts. I’ve already shifted many around, taken some down and hopefully made the system better and robust at every turn. Kaizen has worked out pretty well for the Japanese, right? I […]
Delayed gratification
In the product world, it takes a long time to get product to shelf, but you are trying to put so many items through the pipeline that you don’t have a lot of time to ‘sit around’ waiting for something to show up. I got my 3rd round of parts in the mail today. Once […]
