I decided I would start the ALeX project. This was going to be similar to aameralis's lexi 3000 v1, but I cant get into the pages with the pictures due to many pictures, so I'm runnin' solo.
Now Alex. Approx. height when finished: 4.5ft Approx width: ? Weight: 8 pounds or less
Head will be made of a Lysol wipe container stripped of its rappers. I am planning on building arms for Alex with cardboard but may change material.
Some robotics parts: Servos: 8 min. Camera: 1 ez-b:1 Battery: 12v SLA motors: 12v 200rpm 2.4kg torque (pwm'ed down)
Inventory: 1 empty de-odorant thing(doors in body) 1 flashing light board 4 boxes(9" x 9" by 8.5" )-possible use in making skirt 3 boxes(10" x 12" x 3" )-dunno 1 box(3' 8" x 12" x 12" )-Body Too many LEDs
Basic idea of body shape:
Need some pointers on what adhesive to use to attach the parts. Liquid glue? hot glue? wood glue?
I hope to get building soon! Please comment!

Yes! , sssssssssshhhhhhhhh, boom! It must follow your guest until it gets close enough then explode lol. Very cool nerd bot , my daughter would love it.
I think the Minecraft idea is ingenious. You should totally go that route. Simple cheap and fun with some pop-culture thrown in. Everything EZ-B should be. Bravo! I'm a little jealous that I didn't have that idea.
A+++ Technopro
Thanks guys! I'll get right to planning!
Ok so here's my idea(also my to do list):
Hope to see this ready to go once I have the electronics.
I have a way-for-it-to-follow idea. I'll get a shirt made that has a QR code on the back that translates to "creeper follow this".
Thanks again, Techno
Making a new post for the creeper and will leave Alex on the back burner.
Good organizing and cool project Techno! Looking forward to seeing creeper.....creep
Thanks irobot.
Here is a construction suggestion. Buy some expanding foam insulation (Great Stuff is a common brand). Then fill your wrapping paper tubes with it. Do not put too much in them it does expand. You may have to punch a few small holes to get it into the middle. It will give you a much stronger frame while adding very little weight, and not much expense.
