Community members were asked to #ShareTheScare this Halloween to win one of two Cel Robox 3D Printers*.
* Cel Robox Refurbished.
RBX01-BK-REFURB ROBOX, 3D PRINTER CEL ROBOX, UK, REFURB, | Farnell UK
For a chance to win they were to:
- Build and document their past or present Halloween projects.
- Tweet your best engineering spook with #ShareTheScare.
Before we tell you who won the 3D printers, here is a rundown of our favorite projects this Halloween.
These spooky, moving specters were created using a Arduino Uno (Arduino Projects) with the addition of an Adafruit V1 Motor Shield, as well as a couple of microswitches as limit switches and an assortment of pulleys, nylon spacers, perforated aluminum plates & arms and "bunch o' fasteners from the hardware store"
