- From page 6 of the PDF print out, cut out Adabot and Blinka*
- Glue characters down onto a thin width-sized cardboard.
- Use a pencil to draw a small rectangle sized slightly less than Blinka's length. (This will used as base to hold Blinka upright later so it doesn't have to be perfect)
- Use a pencil to draw a small triangle shaped like an ice cream cone
- Use hobby knife to carefully cut out characters, base and cone.
- For Adabot's antennae and Blinka's tongue, cut under, as they are too small to keep attached when cutting with cardboard.
*For smaller parts like Adabot's antennae and Blinka's tongue, use a hobby knife.
- From page 7 of the PDF print out, cut out the ice cream cone.
- Glue one side of the back.
- Curl into cone shape.
- Take a ball of fake spider web the size of a fist (found at the dollar store or a halloween store). You can use cotton balls also.
- Glue to top of cone.
- Glue ice cream cone to top of truck.
- Take a pea-sized amount of web and roll around in fingers.
- Glue to top of small cone cut out.
- Bend Adabot's shoulder and arm so it's reaching forward and glue small ice cream cone to hand.
- From page 8 of the PDF print out, cut out seat part and glue to medium to large width cardboard (can use same cardboard from the truck parts).
- Glue one of the larger pieces to the other on the edges.
- Add the smaller piece on its long side underneath one of the larger pieces .
- Glue on Blinka's base.
- Cut out a hook and corresponding loop piece that are the same size as Blinka's base.
- Attach one piece to Blinka's base.
- Attach the other to the truck seat.
- Now Blinka can sit in her sit!
- Measure about 55mm behind the front of the truck base and draw a line. This is where the seat will go.
- Place front of seat up against this line and trace around the seat base with a pencil.
- Glue seat in place, reenforcing where necessary.
- Measure about 8cm of bamboo stick and use hands to break off the measured piece.
- On the truck base, draw a point on the base of the truck 14mm to the left and 6 mm back from the left side starting at the back left corner of the piece that juts out in the middle.
- At roughly a 20 degree angle to the right, use a pencil to create a hole where the point was drawn.
- Take the 8cm bamboo skewer and stick in at the same angle.
- Remove bamboo stick, add hot glue to hole, place stick back and hold in place until dry.*
- Measure a roughly 2cm piece of cardboard and cut out.
- Glue it towards the top of the bamboo stick.
- Glue Adabot on front of cardboard piece. This will give Adabot a "popping out" effect from the truck window.
*This bamboo stick will later be pulled back and forth by a string attached to the servo giving Adabot a sort of waiving effect.
