Make Your Box

You can use any box that you would like. For this project, I laser cut a box using MakerCase, glued it together, and painted it.

Set Up Devices

Attach servo and LED light strip to the CPB. Glue the servo to the lid of the box. Tape the LED light strip into a circle that wraps around the bottom of the box.

Then attach your dancer to the top of the servo. I cut a white fabric, placed it over the servo to hide it, and added glitter.

I added two dancers on the side of the box to trigger the dancing but you can use alligator clips + your own object.
