This is Stella, my work-in-progress Robobrrd. I ordered a chassis kit from Robotgrrl, and this is the progress I've made in a few days. The eyes are from an Elmo robot tear down I did a week or so ago, and are lit with blue LEDs. I've got a lot of other ideas for her, so there will be many changes to come. I got the Eye LEDs wired up - here's a new video... I got the perch working today... Here's a video...
