Weird to go to all that length and then hot glue circuit boards in place.

The hot glue holding the parts so they don't fly apart at the moment the final cuts release them was inspired.

...or it's just what you do on a lathe, I'm not knowledgeable on lathing.

YouTube Description:

My Daughter and I went to a Halloween Party dressed as the Power Loader from "Aliens." I love Halloween, and I wanted to create a costume that my daughter and I could share. She was amazingly content the whole night, and enjoyed looking at everybody else's costumes!I built this robot suit in two nights and a day out of cardboard boxes and hot glue. My baby girl rides comfortably in a Baby Bjorn with the roll cage protecting her. The entire costume only weighs about ten pounds, plus baby.My highest priority was keeping my little girl safe, so the costume was designed for mobility and quick exit in case of emergency. The boots are basically cardboard slippers that could pop right off. With a shrug of my shoulders, I could pop the arms right off. What you can't see from the video is that there are no bottoms on the robot arms, so my human arms were completely free and unimpeded. I could leave the claws hanging idle from the shoulder joints while I could address any of my girl's needs. I would have had to take the suit off to changer her diaper, though!The internet has been amazingly kind and positive about this outfit. Thank you for all of the amazing comments and compliments you have posted about my little girl!

^it climbs like something you could strap explosives to and finagle it up a ship's hull...the other one leaves a hot glue trail after it spies or places explosives, and the third, thanks to 3M who has given the military all kinds of other wonderful products for the destruction of humans not in the know, can do all of the above and fuck your mother and sister without leaving any STD's.

johny,

You really need to check out google news, it has like articles and stuff.

The video did not say that the police stopped her because they saw putty, nor even that they saw it prior to arresting her. She walked into Logan Airport with a blinking breadboard on her chest.

Ok, look at the picture again. Tell me how this thing is "blinking"! I could draw you a schematic, but here's a hint, there is nothing on the back side, and nothing on the front side but hot glue, tape, wires, leds, and resistors. There may be one pnp, but it looks like a shadow to me. Her craftsmanship doesn't scream, "I can make an astable RC oscillator".

At any rate, this is just a little lighted star. You know they SELL BALLCAPS WITH THE SAME LEDs AND EVEN A 9V iN THE BACK. Is wearing an ornamental LED badge really akin to klan robes? Or anything resembling, gee I had better not wear this to MEET SOMEONE AT THE AIRPORT.

She wasn't even going through security. Just standing around the terminal checking the arrival times.

I have no idea how she was handled after apprehension, and if she was not basically immediately released upon realization that she was simply stupid, then yeah, the cops went to far.

She was arrested and held in jail overnight until she appeared before a judge. She was charged with disturbing the peace and possessing a hoax device. At the airport the counter person asked her what it was and she said it was art. The MSP then ascended upon her and if you make one false move they shoot you.

Why are airport security walking around with sub machine guns??? Are you for real? In Logan Airport? Do I think it's right? Of course not, but it's certainly understandable if not legally defensible. And where the hell were sub-machine guns mentioned anyway. Furthermore - a sub-machine gun is essentially nothing more than a pistol that shoots really fast and has a bigger clip. It's not even close to something like an M-16A4, which I have seen carried by several agents in several airports (and scares the living shit out of me).

They carry submachine guns (not fully auto pistols) since the Mossa.d has helpfully revamped and retooled airport security.

<A HREF="http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/nation/ny-usbomb0922,0,6326257.story?coll=ny_home_rail_headlines">"If she had shown any</A> indication of not responding, the probability of her being shot was very high," said Rafi Ron, an Israeli security expert who helped Logan overhaul its procedures after two of the 9/11 hijackers flew through that airport. ...

Ron cited the fatal shooting of a mentally ill male passenger at Miami International Airport in December, 2005, by two federal air marshals, which he described as an "unavoidable tragedy." The man, who wore a backpack across his chest, threatened to detonate a bomb.

In another recent case, in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, he said a man wearing an overcoat with wires coming out of it on a summer day narrowly avoided being shot."

If you have any wires hanging off of you in the airport, you are near death. (What about headphones??)

and while given the right parts and a big enough board, I could likely work out a 4 stage pipeline, I have never once successfully soldered a circuit together. Soldering if for technicians.

Ok.. technicians and plumbers. Just so you know, soldering is pretty easy: apply heat, apply solder, remove heat.

As to the playdoh, the only person who has made this claim was the State police at a press conference. Maybe they just made it up because they realized they were caught with another moonite moran episode, or maybe it was in her pocket, or maybe she doesn't smoke and passes time waiting by making little playdough dudes. My vote is that they made it up completely. FYI, she also made the star for the day before this was a career fair and it's actually a pretty good gimmick and conversation starter. (As long as the attendees don't have machine guns)

Naw, ants and other insects can eat hot glue westy, and if they can't, they're smart.....they eat around it!...and the hot glue remnants are biodegradable....eventually
