In case you need an Instructables robot.

Because your male instructables robot gets lonely.

Because your four year old daughter asked for a girl robot.

This is my second instructable in my series, "The Way Women reMake Masculine Images in the Maker Movement," in which I am exploring the ways in which females take a feminine object (like a dress) and make it into something else with a masculine image (raygun) or a masculine object and make it into something else with a feminine image or object.

Specifically, I am exploring the feminizing of the masculine technology within the Steampunk and Science Fiction genres of the Maker movement.

Wooden Block that looks like dress. I am using the stereotypically feminine image of a dress on purpose.

Wheels for feet. Well, the Instructable robot has wheels for feet.

Cotter pins for mouth and antenna.

Metal head that looks like a robot face. Mine is, I believe, the covering of a sewing machine motor. Just look for a robot face, you'll find one.
