Good design doesn't just apply to Engineering or Software. A good design can pull strangers closer together and help us connect at an emotional level As my gift to the Burning Man community, I wanted to create a Robot that made people happy. I was inspired by simple animated characters that were instinctively cuddly and approachable.
As I tried to unravel how these creations pulled at our heart string so easily, I came to a realization that almost all of them shared a particular proportion in terms of head, body and limb. So I distilled these ratios and scaled them into a full size costume. To test the strength of this idea, I purposely chose to use boxes because it was a medium that was extremely simplistic. And so Robox was born.
