Blender Cycles Robot Animation Test

This is the robot that I have been working on for my major HSC project. This is my first time creating and rigging a character. The robot still needs to be textured and modified, please comment and like on youtube. Also subscribe to my channel if you want to see my progress on this project and as an artists:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rku3M84LXU

Heat shield hyper-sonic plasma accelerator test animations for eventually making a physically accurate model of a Hypersonic launch at sea level using the heat shield plasma as a reaction mass and some form of high energy density reactor or beamed power, to reach high orbit without any on-board propellant, the only non reusable section is the heat shield, after one exit/re-entry cycle
