Overwatch cosplay is a popular these days, but I don’t often see cosplayers build costumes based on Bastion. Bastion is a defense hero that can turn into a giant turret. Yeah, it’s not a bad skill to have. Mathoz Costumes can’t transform, but he still made a fantastic Bastion costume nonetheless. He captured the character’s bulky proportions and constructed everything from the armor, to the rifle, to the faux grass and bird’s nest. You can see a couple of in progress pictures below and more in this Facebook album. If you flip through the photos, you’ll see one of the tricks of cosplaying: having enough room in your space to build.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
