The Making of Dr. Robot Head

When Jason and I finally decided to enter the ELE contest, we had about a week to do it. So the project was going to be a quick one and on the cheap. It turns out, I had just about everything I needed to make 3 robot heads in my apartment.

I put some time into two of the heads, the third one was basically just a white board, spray painted silver (not my best work).

The body was a wooden frame bolted to the back of an office chair. I sat backwards on the chair to operate the heads.

We even put a little site together for the good doctor.

Making More Faces

So I’ve been giving people sets of ping pong ball eyes, and asked them to send an email with pics of what they came up with. So far the results are great.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Face of the Month by Ben Heavy. I never even thought about using the eyes to attach to themselves through non-magnetic material. Well done.

Thanks for the idea Corban.
