After thinking about how you secure the suit to the child's foot, I would have redone this. Instead, have a rectangular foam piece parallel to his calf that straps to it with a joint at the low end of it near where his ankle is. This solution would most likely remove so much stress from walking by using the leg as a whole.
You've made a cool costume for your son, you should be proud, regardless if it broke. Makes me want to come up with crazy and inventive ideas for next Halloween now, this is just so awesome! And L, you're awesome too!
How did you create the main body and foot portions of the robot? I heard you say styrofoam, but the parts are so articulated and clean cut, I'm not sure how you made it. I'm trying to make a video game costume, so if you could tell me the materiels and where you got them that would be Great! Thanks!
All the styrofoam was from HP printer packing material. When it came out of the box it looked like a foot. I added a wooden sole and masonite to reinforced the sides. The ankle joint was a 1/2" dowel. I'll post some pics on my blog but it'll be at least tomorrow before I can do that.
This one's cool. 2 thumbs up to you guys .... ^__^

If you glue it at just the toe of the shoe it will make it a little easyer to walk. Awesome work

Does this video do an adequate job of explaining the build process or does it need more detail?
