While many characters sparked DJ’s imagination for invention and quest for technical skills, one of the earliest was everyone’s favorite 1980’s cyborg policeman: RoboCop, er uh Inspector Gadget! While Inspector Gadget’s gadgets certainly obeyed the laws of cartoon physics rather than real physics, they’re just beyond the edge of plausibility. So in a year long preparation for Halloween 2021, DJ is setting out to make a voice activated hat that can summon real gadgets from his head. No plastic surgery necessary. Some assembly required.

the copter is a huge payoff! laughed so hard!!
Haha, love it. I saw the neopixel code and got very excited I was not disappointed!
Maybe you should cut your hair to make the hat fit better?! We all have to make sacrifices for our creations!
Next up…
Great work DJ, loved the copter bit and the hinge setup of the crown flaps is pretty ingenious
