robobob Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Not a really extensive build, but I'm happy with how he turned out.I used the gang of 5 head off of this Papasan robot to make my R-1 Lavender robot, and finally got tired of seeing the headless body laying there.A plasma disc, a clear topped tin, a buzzer, 2 leds, some decals and wire ...Cyclops !!!

Tinplate6 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Now that's cool...I love it! If you could only get some voltage to arc between the antenna, it would be perfect. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimK Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I love it. Very well done. I have always wanted to do something with one of those plasma disks.JimK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Looks rather ominous. Great work, RB!BTW-I bought a heart shaped plasma night light to use as a heart in a big bot I "was" working on. I accidentally left it on over night and it apparently burned out. Anybody have any idea how long a plasma light is suppose to last? Do the discs last longer?

Electric Robot and Son Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I bought mine at spencer gifts when they were on clearance a couple of years ago. They still show up on ebay sometimes. I have used the small ones that run on 2 AA batteries (3volts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
