6 Minecraft days or 6 real days? 6 Minecraft days seem like a stretch.

Hey that would be great! We could maybe have like a robotics marathon and see how many people joined in!

I think he means 6 real life days because 6 Minecraft days (roughly) equals 2 hours which is not much to get all the materials for the build.

Being relatively new to Minecraft, this is not the best, but here is 3397's 2012 robot.



I might add an image of it with bumpers later, once I put them on.

And from the front:



Questions? Comments? Advice?

Now someone add redstone and make it move!

Heh, these are pretty cool. If I spent as much time building in creative as I do killing people, it would probably look pretty sweet.
