It's been a while since I've posted one of my projects here.
R2D2 was made out of a trashcan, a salad bowl and wood + a microcontroller for the sounds and lights. With the help of my dad I could finish it in time. It was a Christmas present for my sibling.
If an alien race were the same size as these octopi, the females would be 6.6ft (2m) in height, and their males would only be 2.4cm tall.
Imagine seeing what you think is your alien comrade sitting alone with dinner, only to see a tiny figure dart across the table like a bug. It scurries up her arm and seems to plant a little kiss on her cheek.
