Me and the wife seen this robot yesterday and we both new we had to buy it. Its 15" tall and 11" wide at the tracks. The arms raise and lower but will not open and close. I do not know if its the switch or what and the I also broke one arm trying to catch it before it hit the ground. The eyes light up on it with a seperate switch. I thought it could be a zombie for the yard. I will have to make the cord longer for the remote but I want to hear what everyone else would do with it. Im looking for all ideas.

I could see doing a zombie body, with the legs trailing out behind it (just some really lightweight pants with skelly feet attached so they drag behind).

I could also see a really small ghostie. Maybe a cheesecloth over wire frame and the eyes could glow through the cheesecloth?

Just an upper torso of a zombie with intestines (great stuff) and such dragging behind might help keep the weight down. The only problem I forsee with something dragging behind is it would pretty much eliminate using reverse.

Yea, I would want to have reverse for sure just because its a corded robot. I would also like to change the leds in the eyes to a different color. I need to take it apart and check it out.

Depending on the torque of the robot maybe you could make anything that drags behind on a something stiff and light weight that could be attached with say a hinge so that it wouldn't bind up or get caught in the tracks.

The zombie idea is cool, but as soon as i saw it i was thinking of a Chucky doll or a small pumpkin demon type creature.

You could do a mache pumpkin to go over it, nobody would expect a moving pumpkin coming at them.

A big skull, use the arms to move the jaw up and down.
