K'NEX Robotic Suit Mark II

K\
This is the second robotic suit, or kenexoskeleton that I have designed out of K'NEX. It is a completely revised version of my first suit, except for the helmet, and is stronger and more mobile. It took about a year to create and is composed of roughly 7,000 pieces.

Helmet
The helmet is the only piece I kept from my original suit. It also has eye flaps that can open and close.
