BatBot3000-Jaden’s School Project

This was a fun project with my son. We had to build robot out recyclable material.Here are some details (almost everything was plastic):

  • Head-2 Milk jugs
  • Eyes-2 caps from creamer
  • Arms-Creamer bottles and water bottles
  • Legs-Creamer bottles and soda bottles
  • Chest-2 Milk jugs
  • Stomach-Apple juice bottle
  • “Batman” chest logo-I designed and cut out of foamcore
  • Shoulders-Soda bottles
  • Cape-Old tshirt
  • Belt-Duck Tape
  • Belt Buckle-Mint box
  • Belt “Gadgets”-Medicine bottles

I filled some pieces with spray foam insulation for weight and to make it more rigid.

We screwed it all together and then spray painted it with black paint.

It was a blast!
