Halloween Projects from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

Maker Faire. This week the lab staff is heading off to Austin, Texas for Maker Faire!

We're bringing a little collection of simple solar circuits, showing you how to get started adding solar power to small electronics projects, up to and including solar garden lights and jack-o'-lanterns.

We'll be doing a full writeup of that project here soon, but our publishing schedule will be a little wonky in the mean time, while we get things together this week.


And speaking of jack-o'-lanterns... here is our Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
Halloween Project Archive!

This page will be updated from time to time as we add related projects. The permanent link to this article is here. You can bookmark it; we don't mind. :)

Halloween Projects from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

I love Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, but most of the time I read it and think, "Wow... that's so cool, but... huh-wha?" because when it comes to circuits and such things I am most definitely unschooled.

HOWEVER, this Halloween I got it into my head to do some sort of functioning robot pumpkin for my company's pumpkin carving competition, which led me to the absolutely fantastic Dalek pumpkin. Since I am functionally retarded where circuits, servos, etc. are concerned, I ended up cheating somewhat - repurposing the chassis of an RC jeep to make the thing move, or installing an IR remote controlled Lego motor to turn the head, for example - but the result was good enough to take first place.

In my mind I envisioned a Victorian steampunk-style robot, but we only had an hour to complete our masterpieces, so the end result wasn't 100% the vision in my brain - like the cardboard base sprayed with stone-textured spray paint did not look very stone-like - but hey. It was fun.

Here it is in action:

Thanks for the site. It's inspirational!!!
