Rich Muller creates robots who tug at your heart (and purse strings) whether you are into kawaii or steampunk. Each Guy Robot is made up of a careful combination of salvaged industrial refuse, including: aerospace and avionics surplus suppliers, automotive salvage yards, long-haul microwave equipment recyclers, decommissioned plumbing and refrigeration remnants, vintage hand-tool swap-meet winnings and neighborhood curbside recycling. Likening himself to Dr. Frankenstein, Muller goes from parts to parturition and the personalities of new Guy Robots materialize. The process consists of “one-part slide-rule calculation, two-parts trial-and-error metallurgical alloying, and four-parts leap-of-faith improvisation.” Visit Guy Robot to read more about these creations. Prices start at $500.
