Robots are always a fascination among us, kids
are no exception.
Using things around us to recycle into a Robot, 
creates a challenging situation. Firstly the resources 
must be easily available for any kid to make them. 
 I had decided on the following items, black bendable
 straws, film container, used, instant camera 
components, metal wires, pvc base, springs, toy 
globe, magnets, string and polymer clay.
The flasher circuit board are the most interesting
element, the component create a realistic looking 
robot head and body. Cutting a access panel
into the robot body, exposing the circuit board,
 adds realism into the model. Putting them together
 require polymer clay, creating hands, feet and 
the body joints. On completion you will be able 
to bend the hands and legs, the magnets between 
the head and body, will serve to articulate the head
in a rotating manner. Adding spring on the neck 
makes the robot looks flexible and strong.
