This is an old new's clip, but is show's a bunch of bot's I made years ago. They are not hard to make, and would make cool props for someone's short.

Next thing you need is the T-rex to walk. I've always wanted to make a robot out of an r/c car, thanks for the inspiration!

You can make anything you want with simple household stuff. All you need to do is look for the first, step. What is step #1 on a robot. make the shape, what kind of shape. Then look for something that look's like that shape.

A mailbox two pots and pans, a broken fan, and a dead VCR, and BANG, ya got a dog bot.

The real trick is to make all the big stuff one color first, then use hot glue to add wire's, sprockets, and shiny blinking stuff. :idea:


The best stuff to use can be found in the trash.
