Everything in these pictures is from years of trial and error. since I am self taught I have learned over the years how NOT to blow things up when working with electronics but every now and then, something still burns out.

When you start adding LEDS and servos motors to a project, not only does it add to the over all esthetic of the costume or prop, but be prepared to spend many hours working on something no one will ever really know how many hours went into it, except for when they see  the exterior skins added, or when the project you have been working on, lights up and comes to to life!
