Robots

These are the parts we used in a children’s workshop in Madrid a few weeks ago. The goal was to create a character with some body parts created on a 3D printer and other parts made by cutting foam sheets with a hot wire.

We used conductive play-doh (courseweb.stthomas.edu/apthomas/SquishyCircuits/index.htm) to generate simple circuits to power LEDs representing eyes, ears, or noses in the robots heads. The LEDs are powered by coin cell 4.5V batteries that fit in the torso.
