Robotic Snap-O-Lantern and Other Pumpkin Robots

Snapper

Last weekend at Maker Faire Austin 2007 I stopped by to see our friends at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and they had a table setup with all kinds of great pumpkin robots and other Halloween projects, including their fantastic Robotic Snap-O-Lantern.

Here’s a video of it in action and instructions on how to make your own.

They also made a really cool Robotic Pumpkin Dalek and a Cylon Jack-O-Lantern.
