Box Suit DAMBOL

I made a robot costume with cardboard.

It is decorated with LED tape.

Leg Making

Cut the cardboard and assemble it, fix the microcomputer, battery, switch inside with glue gun.

To increase the strength paint the surface with adhesive and dry. It gets transparent as it dries and looks like a varnish.

It is completed by covering old boots.

LED shake brightness with random number, so that it blinks twinkle.

   }

}

Arm Making

Make a box with a hole through which hands pass through with cardboard, fix the parts inside and complete the LED tape.

LED tapes can shine white.

Like the feet, apply the adhesive on the surface and dry it.

Head Making

Cut off the creation with cardboard, fix the parts inside and assemble, paste the LED tape and wire it to the microcontroller.

For fixing to the head, fix the rubber string and transparent PVC hemisphere with glue gun.

I make the first and last five LED tapes of 14 cells white, and the middle four shine red.

Body Making

I made it with cardboard as well.

The upper part was opened so we could fix the Velcro with the shoulder.
