Now you can battle your chess two ways. Traditionally on a chess board or combine your powers to form the ultimate chess fighting robot.

Had this idea a while ago and the tinkercad Chess Contest gave me the perfect opportunity to make it happen. Having to use Tinkercad to make it happen was wonderfully educational too. It's a limited tool in many way and the limitations were in their own way liberating.

Carry your chess set to your next game in the coolest way possible.

Forming the head and body by sliding the queen's tab into the middle of the king and sliding down.
Form shoulders by sliding in the two flat bottomed pawns into the body.
Form feet and legs by mating two of the pawns base-to-base and attaching the knights to one end. Then join the legs to the body at the hips.
Form the arms by mating one pawn base-to-base with the rook, and the bishop to the pawn. (Detail lovers will make sure the fingers are in the right place.) Then snap the rook into the shoulder pawn.
Disassemble by reversing the steps to play chess.
