Competition Discussion Thread | Halloween Hackathon 2025

It's time for the annual element14 Halloween competition!

I thought I'd create a space for general discussion on Halloween projects, your progress, challenges, and successes.

Plus, feel free to discuss any competition details here too. Don't forget the all-important deadline of November 9th. You can also send me a direct message if there is anything you would like to ask.

Happy building and wishing you all a happy Halloween in advance!

These projects can quickly get out of hand you know...

Can you imagine the e14 blue dancing robot at that scale ?

Here is my attempt to model the e14 blue dancing robot using OpenSCAD. My primary goal with this project was to learn and practice OpenSCAD, rather than to recreate the robot's functionality or exact design.

This is the OpenSCAD code used to generate the 3D model of the e14 blue dancing robot. The design is broken down into modular components like legs(), head(), and various brackets. Note that my main focus was on learning OpenSCAD syntax and modular design, rather than creating a perfectly functional replica. The final model is compiled via the bluebot() module.

Woah, I haven't looked at this in detail, does this include the mechanism inside to move it too?

Not just a solid shell. But I started to give it some movement, even though I didn't finish the script. I'll leave that for the next Spring Clean!

Looks pretty close to the real figure.

Did you do a 'dubbie' and perform an autopsy ?

or were you able to get enough measurements with it still intact ?
