DorkbotPDX September 2015 Workshop: Oregon Lawnmower Massacre
In this workshop we will build a "kicking legs" Halloween prop. These props are normally put under lawnmowers to simulate a lawn care accident. This project is based on a project by "Scary Terry", you can see the original here: (
http://www.scary-terry.com/kicklegs/kicklegs.htm). We'll play with linkages, servos, and microcontrollers.

Laptop with Teensyduino installed
Phillips head screwdriver (electric is probably best)
2 wrenches, either 7/8", 11 mm, or adjustable
A pair of socks, old shorts/pants, fake blood, etc for decoration.
$35 for the kit. Comes with:
