I really like the idea of repurposing obsolete products. Inspired by @therealsamprentice , I rescued an autonomous vacuum cleaner from the trash and converted it to an RC robot platform. I then decided I wanted the robot to BE Sam Prentice (Mecha-Prentice), and went down the rabbit hole of making a 3D model of him from only a video screenshot, and 3D printing an animatronic head. This is probably one of the craziest projects I’ve ever had. I wasn’t thinking of Halloween, but it turned into something strangely disturbing. Nevertheless, I learned a few new tricks during this project. Thanks to Sam for his board recommendation, and apologies to Sam for immortalising him in such a strange way. All products were purchased with my own money.
