Description

Bipeds have to maintain balance, or they will fall over. It's harder when the floor is steeply sloped and covered with slippery snow. And, if you have long objects attached to your feet, it's nearly impossible! Yet, this 'bot loves it, always takes the double-black-diamond runs - she has no fear! Since no other 'bots can achieve this feat, she's always in the "singles" line at the lifts... :-( -*- You might recognize that same primitive shape makes most of the figure - the arms, legs, torso and eyes are all copies of a distorted cylinder from Carrara 1.0. The rest is just good old Bryce primitives. The white material texture should really be improved, but it's perfect for a ski-outfit. -*- Thanks for viewing! Comments are welcome!

Very active imagination, I presume. Another great image, Jim! This could be a rescue bot, with some added equipment on board? a shovel to dig me out?

Way cool and fun design - especially like the face and the addition of all the free hanging greebles. Rube Goldberg would of been proud!

Great fun image, but you're right about the colour! What if she gets burried in a snowdrift, or goes over a cliff? She'd be better off hazard orange, or perhaps lollipop pink. :')

Hmmm, I don't know, she's kinda flat chested.... :0) dlund has a point, a scarlet/dayglo yellow/black checkerboard color scheme would be cool. Now, about that mind-altering substance....
