Introduction: FRED the Robot

FRED stands for Friendly Robotic Entertainment Device. It is a toy my
dad and I made out of some old toys, including 2 torches and some mickey mouse car keys that have sound effects.. a car engine, an alarm and a car locking noise.

He is my invention and is made from recycling old toys that we were going to throw away.

FRED can be used as a torch or night light and he wobbles on his spring legs...when you press the buttons from the sound effects key ring he makes noises and a light flashes with the noise
