My friend and co-worker Adam Saponara (1 half of the creative duo at www.combobreaker.com) made this over the weekend.

The R.O.B. was already in a non-functioning state (like about 99% of R.O.B.s out there) so he didn't "sacrifice" it, rather he gave it new life!

Here's his build diary and wiring instructions for anybody who wants to make one for themselves!

Ha, that's great. It'd make a great reading lamp with it's directed light.

Well done :)

I'll suggest to Adam that he should tell people that his R.O.B. houses the "tormented soul" of a Nintendo factory worker that died when he fell into a Famicom cartridge manufacturing/assembly machine.

Build a R.O.B. to be animatronic! That's what I want to see.

And add lasers...Wait, nevermind. Scrap that idea. Giving lasers to a robot is the worst possible thing you could do.

HAHAHA You should put a sound sensor and red LEDs in it and set it to turn his eyes red if he hears a loud sound. Evil R.O.B. :D
