Ideas for discarded mice reuse (GO TEAM MOUSE!)

last photo ←

Taking advantage of the Keyboard Vs. Mouse Speed Challenge, I want to share with you some of my reused mice old ideas. You can use an old mouse in many ways, for example:

As an animal head (like a dinosaur)
As a battle droid head
Make a scorpion and other kind of bug, and use them as desktop decoration or arm accesories
As robot feet

Soon, I will upload a full instructable of how to use mice for making insects. So, stay tuned on M.C. Langer's channel!!! :-)

Except the Dinosaur and the small bot (they light their eyes), the other robots vibrate or roll forward. The scorpions are only decorative stuff.

Really? You should enter them in the Robot Contest! It's specially targeted for simple robots that kids can build - those sound perfect.

Hi Canida! I tried to enter to the Robot Contest with this instructable, but it only admits step by step instructables. But, no problem!! I made the new one:
