Custom-Feature: Caveytron 9000 - Cris Rose x Cavey Plush

And so all the sneaks we've been seeing via Cris' tweets for the last 3 months are for "CAVEYTRON 9000" - his custom-build for the Cavey Birthday Party. Holly of A Little Stranger and creator of Cavey-plushies invited 12 x UK artists to design a plush in 2D whereby she will sew into a tangible one-of-a-kind plush., And Cris Rose when and gave it legs to run about, and to bully other Caveys! LOL


CRIS: "This custom Cavey design is by myself in my signature bot style. Caveytron 9000 has three eyes and the distinctive Cris Rose crown logo emblazoned on his chest. As well as the Cavey plush you are also bidding on the amazing robot walker legs that i've made for the custom. All in all he is over 2ft wide and 1ft high!!

Plush Cavey: 4” tall. His body is made of lime green fleece with silver hand stitched details. His head is made from grey marled fleece with a hand cut felt crown motif and three black eyes. Connecting his back and ears are four electrical wires. Features a ‘Cris Rose’ fabric label. Weighted in the bottom so he can stand unassisted. 
Walker legs: Articulated robot body made of CNCed Polycarbonate (for strength and flexibility) and Acrylic, painted with Spray paint and acrylic paints."

BACSTORY:
"Caveytrons were the logical progression of a child's stuffed toy, soft, flexible 4 foot robots that would bounce around happily and play all day. Caveytrons loved to roll and hug and get used as a big fluffy beeping pillow. 

One day a Caveytron rolled off the production line that didn't care to hug. More than that, it actively chased anything smaller than itself and did its best to suffocate them in it's fluff. Puzzled by this anomalous behaviour, the senior programmers did their best to reset it's behavior to default, only to find it increasingly aggressive. Quite quickly it became apparent that they could no longer shut this bot down and tho they couldn't stop it from jumping all over any Sprog that came near it, they could specify a target to draw it's ire. A sharp young programmer suggested this unit would be ideal for hunting down rogue robots, the only problem being that it would only hunt down targets smaller than itself...

A few swift modifications to the chassis of a land-surveying droid provided the perfect extension to their problem child - so it was that Caveytron 9000 was born. Over 12 feet tall and 24 feet wide, Caveytron 9000 was hard wired into it's tripod walker, yet free enough to bounce up and down inside it's pod. No robot was too large for it to track down and when it found them, it took great pleasure in kicking 7 shades of lubricant out of them with it's 20 foot long legs. 

While quick to point out that this behaviour is not condoned, no one could deny that Caveytron 9000's kickass attitude got results."
