How-To: Make a BoogieBot Robot Costume

On CRAFT, Brookelynn writes:

I know a little girl who has wanted to be a robot for as long as she can remember- a dancing robot, to be precise. The best thing about being a kid is letting your imagination run wild. The best thing about being a grown-up is being able to make a child’s dreams come to life. Introducing the BoogieBot 5000, the best robot Halloween costume ever.

As part of our sponsored Krylon series, Brookelynn built this cute, simple box-based robot costume. You can see the full details of the build on Make: Projects. I love the faucet spigots for the ears and LED Throwies for instant electronic eyes.
