robot costume complete

Detail shots of the electronic components in the robot costume my wife and I built. She did all the painting and papercraft, and I did the electronics.

Systems include an Arduino with Adafruit Wave Shield for sound effects, and a proto shield that you see with all the wires and resistors. They are wired to the antique analog gauge on the front panel, which reacts to the IR pair from SparkFun in the Input slot.

The speech is recorded synthesis from my Mac. Sayings are: "Candy, my favorite fuel," "Yum yum yum...," "You will be spared from the robot uprising, thank you human," and "Warning! Candy overload!"

And on the front panel just for eye candy is a Game of Life kit from the Maker Shed/Adafruit.

Thanks, it was too much fun to make.

Sketch can be found at forums.adafruit.com, search for "robot costume" (I can't post a link, otherwise I would).
