Tips On Making A Robot From Trash

Putting together a junk robot figure can be a nice way to reuse useless metal and other junk. You can create a fully new and original creature only with a little touch of innovation. You can bring to use stuffs like wasted tin cans, unusable buttons, and useless appliances along with used laptop or refurbished laptop. With some unknown pieces of trash and a little imagination, you can take on a new life. You can make it as per your taste. All you need is a little bit of supervision, and you share some pleasant times with your children in the assembling of the junk robot.

Of course, you will need junk, but there are some few more items that will help you to put together a junk robot. You will need soldering iron, duct tape, epoxy, nuts and bolts, paints, wires, etc. With all that collected; you can begin by starting the body. Here are a few steps to do so.

• Look for some items with which you will be generating the torso. You can use old cans, tins or sardines or anything with ample size to attach a head, arms and legs to.

• Then you will be assembling the feet, arms and legs. Just like your legs should have feet broad enough to stand on, the robot also needs sufficient balance. Damaged toy cars without wheels, lids from mason jars and other that are broad and flat can do a good job. For forming arms and legs, you can make use of any junk material you like. Use antennas from unusable televisions or radios or otherwise forks and spoons, crescent wrenches and railroad spikes can also be a few reasonable items for this reason.

• Now let’s get started with the head. Gather junk material for your robot’s head. You can form the head with a doorknob. Of course, it has a mouth and eyes. You can also add a nose to make it look more like a human. For example, you can use a wooden top with square bolts for eyes and a zipper for the mouth or you can use buttons as eyes and a piece of metal for mouth.


• Start assembling your robot with duct tapes. Cut slits in the torso using tin snips and then you can conveniently join the head and limbs in to them. Then with the use of epoxy or solder, neatly stick the pieces together.

• Then comes the time to furnish your robot. Use metallic spray paint throughout. It will cover up any imperfections or rusty spots. Furthermore, this paint provides your junk robot a typical cyborg look. Most certainly, you don’t wish your robot to look like a heap of junk. For the reason, you can add pieces of colored plastic, tinsel or anything else that can make your robot look more awesome.

You can curtail off or add some more steps according to your information and requirements. The prepared look of your junk robot will be amazing if you follow these steps correctly.
