The idea of the project appeared when our teacher showed us the projects of previous years, seeing the liberty the previous students had gave us the idea to make something we would enjoy and have fun with.

As the initial three members are fans of the franchise warhammer 40k we thought of taking inspiration from something from there. Quickly, an idea came along, the most obvious vehicle to do was the classic and emblematic dreadnought.

This decision increased the difficulty of the project by it having to be a biped, so in order to save time and make it easier for us, we searched for another project that had de bipedal movement sorted out. At last, we found otto, a small two legged robot with a bunch of different versions. We choose the otto ninja more specifically, which has circular and bigger feet in order to give the robot more stability: https://www.printables.com/model/231580-otto-ninja-starter-robot/files

With this came the idea of taking the otto's legs and main body and building a "shell" to place as a head in order for the robot to resemble a dreadnought. Additionally, we thought of including servos for the arms to move or a camera as an initial idea.
