Just yesterday I put the spotlight on an inventive Pokémon costume, Bulbasaur to be precise, and today, I’m continuing the trend with a look at Zaelyx Cosplay‘s armored Charizard.

All of the armor is craft foam layered in Worbla. Head is entirely EVA foam. Sword is Cardboard base > expanding foam > paper mache > masking tape > gesso > Worbla… PHEW

Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
