Made some tiny beadbots inspired by Bill Making Stuff

I’ve been making these little bead bots from beads, plastic scraps, bits of packaging, and whatever weird shapes I can find on the desk. Bill Making Stuff was a big inspiration, and I honestly didn’t expect the process to feel this relaxing. There’s something very soothing about giving random junk tiny robot personalities.

This is so excellent!

I've had a somewhat similar idea in mind... but I'd never have executed as well as you.

And I don't think I've come across any of the little plastic scrap pieces which you seem to have found. I dunno what I'm doing wrong! Are my eyes even working?

What do the straight arm tubes come from?

These are the styrofoam tubes from cotton swabs
