Using the Kitronik robot design and the Kitronik flashing Bike Light, you can now ‎create something that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi cartoon.‎

This make by Kev, our in-house illustrator/designer, is great for the classroom. It ‎combines electronics and design, and the result will look good on a desk, a shelf, ‎or in a workshop.‎

Start your robot, by soldering the bike light kit together, making sure to follow ‎the instructions carefully, aligning each element correctly. Note: Be sure to have ‎the LEDs protrude further out than the capacitors.‎

STEP 2 - Body of Green:‎

Once you’ve downloaded the DXF files cut out the acrylic on your laser cutter as ‎shown. Black for the base colour, green for the body elements (and don’t forget the ‎two stands!).‎

Push clip the panel mount clips into the eye holes on the black acrylic. Once in, ‎gentle push the LEDs into the back of the clips.‎

Attach 2x AA batteries to the battery cage and get that robot winking!‎

‎Advanced Option:‎

To add a little more difficulty to the Red Eyed Robot make, how about attaching an ‎on/off switch.‎

Cut the battery lead and solder one of our switches Miniature Push to Make Switch, ‎or a Sub-Miniature Toggle Switch SPST.‎
