Development of Zero2 - David Buckley
Following on from Zeaker, the name Zeaker2 was decided upon by the directors of IGR.
I prefered Drawbo or Zeabo
- (Zeabo was influenced by Colonel Pewter's code name of Zeebo, or Zebo?, and Zeaker)

My original ideas

(Como Saturns were for Modular1)

Inspiration
I didn't want an angular robot with sharp corners, but something which would be nice to hold.
I found the shape of the Toyota Space-Cruiser inspirational.
