It took me -way- longer to rig this than I thought it would. The rig is functional, but not professional, but not bad for my first attempt at rigging. I am generally happy with the deformations, and beside myself pleased with how this project is turning out.
Modeling, Sculpting, and retopology in Blender, Texturing in Gimp, Rigged like an amateurin Blender and Rendered in Cycles at 250 passes.
Next step, building a scene around this that tells a story. here is to hoping I can cram more than one copy of the robot into VRAM. Impatience is a terrible thing for a CG artist.
