Welcome Robot 1.5 is a funky little homemade robot that greets people in your absence. It was made by Armanda Lewis as part of 5 Projects in 5 Days. That means she had to make the robot, from start to finish, in only one day.
Welcome Robot 1.5 is red and yellow as an homage to Ironman. When you turn him on, the LED lights come on to let you know he’s in sensing mode…

This (somewhat creepy) 3D anime lass is actually hiding a nefarious secret- behind her back lurks a dastardly PC mod!
Um, wow, I guess if you’re really lonely and have a lot of time on your hands this is a good idea. This is a handmade mod, by Katsuya Matsumura, and she’s made from styrofoam and painted by hand. I have to give full props for doing an extremely professional job…
