Simply cut a triangle for the arms and neck, and decorate with anything from CDs to compasses. To make the body of the robot costume even more interesting, you can use a silver food strainer. If you&#8217;re not a gadget fanatic, you can still dress up as a robot with sweat pants and a t-shirt.<\/p>\n<h2>Arduino Uno<\/h2>\n<p>You can make a costume utilizing an Arduino Uno and add lights and sounds to it. If you&#8217;re into Animatronics, you&#8217;ll love this open-source microcontroller. It opens a whole new world of costume-making and creature-making. Learn how to connect wires, servos, LEDs, and sound effects to make your costume come alive.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black felt. You can also use cardboard boxes to create a helmet and iron-on paper to create designs. Another great idea is to use pipe cleaners for antennae.<\/p>\n<h2>Arduino Grande<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re building a robot costume, you may be wondering whether you should use an Arduino Uno or an Arduino Grande. Both of these products are high-tech, but the Arduino Uno has a lot of functionality to it. In fact, one person has even made a life-size Arduino Uno. The Arduino Grande, however, is 6 times bigger than the original. It&#8217;s also portable enough to carry around as a prop.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need some cardboard. A piece of cardboard will work well, as will a multi-part build guide. Make sure to cut out the pieces with long sides, as this will make molding much easier. Once you&#8217;ve cut out the pieces, you&#8217;ll need to add the parts.<\/p>\n<h2>Sally Servo<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a robot fanatic and aren&#8217;t afraid to go the DIY route, a robot costume can be a great option for the occasion. Natasha Dzurny, the creator of Sally Servo, has developed a DIY robot costume kit that includes a multi-part build guide. The robot&#8217;s construction is simple, and all you need are some basic cardboard and some basic electronics.<\/p>\n<p>The Sally costume is quite simple to make, and is a great choice for those with little to no sewing experience. All you need is a knee-length dress, and you can even search thrift stores for inexpensive ones! Once you have your dress, you can start gluing on various fabric patches. Choose different colors for each patch to create a patchwork effect.<\/p>\n<h2>T-Qualizier Shirt<\/h2>\n<p>You can use a T-Qualizier Shirt as an interactive part of your robot costume. This shirt has a built-in equalizer that lights up in response to ambient sound. The equalizer is Velcro-mounted onto the shirt, but can be easily removed if you don&#8217;t want it to light up.<\/p>\n<p>Another DIY robot costume is made from silver bubble insulation from a water heater. All you need to do is cut it into triangles for the arms and neck. Then you can embellish it with anything from compasses to CDs. A silver food strainer can also be used as a robot costume.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VDxTmDdu_N0 height=212 width=379 frameBorder=0 allowfullscreen=true style='margin:0px auto; display: block;'><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a robot fanatic, you can make a DIY robot costume out of silver bubble insulation from a water heater.
