BB-8 Boo to You from R.U.S.

Happy Halloween 2019 from Robotics Under the Stole! This year's photo is a BB-8 style jack-o'-lantern and award winner from Grace Episcopal School's Jack-o'-Lantern Contest. My children went to Grace and it was the home of our robotics' club - The GatorBots for many years. For a little history, click here.



Have a safe and happy Halloween and keep up your robotic work! Robots are not really scary...

Sticker Mule had a great deal on a roll of packing tape (3 inches wide X 100 feet long) for only $9.00! I had to have some... Here is the proof. What fun!

From My Scary Friends at Parallax



The Taco Pinata Project - Parallax says, "If you like Halloween and you like tacos, then you’ve come to the right place my friends! In this tutorial I do a “show and tell” of how I made a crawling piñata taco. Since the parts you end up using may vary (depending on whether you have access to a laser cutter) this tutorial is more of a guide rather than a step by step instruction manual. Let's get started!" Here is the link - https://learn.parallax.com/tutorials/language/blocklyprop/taco-pinata-project?fbclid=IwAR0lmtQnMDjZqVKFsvreegrqk7RN1CMTkcu33r47jPOPOaO9hj2OahlmcdM

Stuff like this is why I love the folks and products Parallax! Fun, creative, and educational.
