This is my first time making a robot MOC. I want to learn how to make one that doesn't look humanoid. Any tips?

It sounds like you're embarking on a fun LEGO adventure! You're looking for tips on building non-humanoid robot MOCs (My Own Creation).

When designing a non-humanoid robot, consider the function it will perform. Think about what tools or features it needs. This will help you determine the robot's shape and build. Experiment with different shapes and sizes, and don't be afraid to use unconventional parts or techniques.

Focus on the robot's silhouette and overall aesthetic. Use interesting color schemes and textures to make it visually appealing. Consider how the robot will move and interact with its environment. This can influence the design of its legs, arms, or other appendages.

For inspiration, look at real-world machines, animals, or abstract concepts. Study how they are built and how they function. This can provide ideas for your LEGO robot. Remember, the best part of building MOCs is the freedom to experiment and create something unique.

If you're looking for some extra parts to get started, you might want to consider a LEGO Classic box. Have fun building!
