[www.keralites.net] RoboKid Patrols Detroit!!!!

James Griffioen's son insisted for months that he wanted to be a robot for Halloween. After looking at various robot images on the computer and watching the Robocop trailer, his mind was convinced. He was going to be RoboKid.

Griffioen (father of the year) decided to create the costume with materials found in his basement. He explains the process:

"The helmet is an old bike helmet that didn't really fit him anymore, so I ripped out all the padding inside and glued on a piece of plastic I cut out from an old bucket to make the front visor part. The circles on the sides were orange-juice-container lids. The chest piece is made out of an empty laundry-detergent bottle and the back is made from milk jugs. The arms and legs are cobbled together out of 64-oz Trader Joe juice containers. I made the boots by gluing a bunch of plastic crap to his old rain boots. Then I painted everything metallic gray. Underneath he's wearing a child-sized wetsuit that I won on eBay for $5.49 (plus $7 shipping). And that's all the money I spent on his costume."
