How to Make a Cheap, Mini Robot Out of Cardboard
Well, this is my latest project, once again made purely of boredom. But, on a different note, I'm going to try to make something even bigger, badder, and better for the Gorilla Glue Contest. Moving on!
Supplies
Tape,
scissors,
two bright Red LED lights,
Cardboard, of course. Or something different, such as poster-board.
aluminum foil,
and, an empty duct tape roll.

The Head and Body.
Make a cardboard box that's 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch, but DON'T close one side. Then, poke 2 holes for the LED's to fit through. The open side should be the back of the head. You can cut this off, but I think it looks like he's going through some robot brain-surgery, so I'm keeping the side. :)
Next, make a tube that looks like the picture (sorry, no measurements) and close up one side. Then, duct tape his head to it later. I wrapped everything in a gray duct tape, because I thought it looked robotic and neat. you can do whatever.
The arms are aluminum foil, so you can bend the elbow joints when you are done. i wrapped the aluminum foil in duct tape, to match the body.

The Legs
I took an empty duct tape roll and rolled them into a good sized leg. You make his legs however you think looks good.
Enjoy, Robot Master!
Give him a name, give him a friend. It's all up to you and your imagination.!:D
