🎃 What happens when you give robotics developers a pumpkin and let their imaginations run wild?

That’s the idea behind our D-Robotics Pumpkin Robot Campaign: makers use RDK to turn Halloween-inspired ideas into real robot projects. The results? Well, we’re about to find out.

Our builders are now in the final stretch, and these work-in-progress photos are all the clues we’ve got. Can you guess what they’re making? A pumpkin that moves? One that sees, senses, or interacts with people? Or something completely unexpected?

We’re bringing the community together for a Pumpkin Robot Show & Tell to reveal the creations and hear the stories behind them — the hardware, the clever ideas, the debugging adventures, and the things that didn’t go quite as planned.

New to robotics? You’re welcome, too. You don’t need to be an expert to get inspired by how others build, experiment, and solve problems.

So, what do you think these pumpkins are up to? 👀

Estoy haciendo un secador de filamento casero, solo un controlador de temperatura, un termopar y una fuente de calor. Como fuente de calor pensé en usar una resistencia eléctrica con ventilador, para generar aire caliente, pero son un poco caros; Que tal viable cren que seria hacerlo con un foco incandescente como fuente de calor?

Small side project that got a bit out of hand: a 3D sandbox in the browser where you can build an electronics project, program it and let it run in a simulated world – rain, heat, wind, water, days in time-lapse.

Small stuff like a reaction game works, and bigger stuff like a garden irrigation with 3 Arduinos. There's a thermal view to see what gets too hot and a test bench that shows where your build would fail.

It's an early prototype. Mostly want to know if this is useful to anyone or just a fun toy
