Hmm. I didn't really think about that. My guess would be that we build the actual race first, and then work on aesthetics. But if you feel like giving us the audio files, good for you :D

We already came up with the basic race concept, so that people can start working on things right away. We need the brainstormers to modify that concept. So we're not only looking for brand new ideas (although if there are good ones, we can certainly implement them). If you visit the brainstorming thread, you can check out the project blueprint. Although next time, maybe post in the brainstorming thread ;)
As for the ideas themselves:
I like the idea of having the harvesters as buildings on the minerals. We were actually talking about doing that as some sort of "economy booster". Sort of like a mule; you can build one of these little harvester things on top of a mineral patch, and it gathers at a fairly good rate for a limited amount of time.
Your energy beams (between depots). That's the exact concept we currently have in the project document. You have to have everything within X feet of a depot, and each depot must be connected to the main structure via a chain of power.
A lot of your unit roles match up with the ones we had planned, so... :D
Units working like buildings. That may be a little bit tricky for the data guys; we want to keep this fairly accessible to the average user. Feel free to bring it up in the brainstorming thread, though.

3D models are on the way (hopefully). The plan is to create the units and everything using default sc2 assets, and then swap them out for the custom artwork as it becomes available.

That's right! The time has come for another community project! This time around, we will be creating a 4th melee race for starcraft! The race is made up of highly intelligent robots, capable of adapting to any situation with surprising speed and merging units together to create powerful war machines.
What we need from you
We cannot do this alone! It's up to you guys to help us make this fourth race. Check out the threads listed below for more information.
How is this race going to play? Will they work like the other races?
The race is made up of highly intelligent robots. The race is capable of creating higher tier units by merging lower tier units together. They can also upgrade units individually, to specialize their army. One unit may be able to choose between more powerful attacks, or heavy armor.
What are we going to do with the race?
Once the race is complete, we will publish the map for anybody on battle.net to play. Not only will this be a great way to tell people about the website, we will also be able to host a tournament using the race.

Ideas and suggestions go in the brainstorming thread (linked at top).

Nope, you got the right spot. This thread is really just a central spot people can bookmark that leads everywhere else.
So we've got some brainstorming going on, but we really need modelers. I can do some of the data work myself, but we absolutely need models.
