Styrobots! ^_^
Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Saturday, May 10th, 2008
In order to help raise money for me to go to Stanford, I’m starting a new thing called Styrobots. They’re cute robots, just like a Bristlebot, but it is a painted styrofoam cup, with googley eyes, some pipecleaner, and a smile!
I’m thinking about selling these to raise money to help me go to Stanford. They would sell for around $15
More info will be up later!
Here are some pics!
All of the latest info will be on the Styrobot page, which can be found here!
Enjoyyy! ^_^
Welcome!
