2. Creating a face

We spent some time in designing the right head. It should look human, but not too human - more like a gimmick of a person. Thereby there were also some more technical specifications: it shouldn't be too heavy (for the balance), and we had to think how the head connects to the body.

After we created our first paper prototype, we made a lasercutted MDF head. We optimized it a bit until it looked the way we wanted it to look.

We decided to go for eyebrows instead of a mouth, to give him a more innocent look. I also created a little mowhawk, in contrast with those  eyebrows.

We were pretty satisfied with the result, so we decided to optimize the wiring.
