Dancing Haloween Ghosts (using lego mindstorms) by epicdude2200
this instructables will have two main parts. the first is making the ghosts and the second is making the robot and rigging the ghosts to "dance". The project is simple but it may take a lot of trail and error to get the ghosts' movement to match the beat of your chosen song. you can also just make the ghosts without the robotic parts if  you do not have a mind-storms set available to you.
