My first  fully working microcontroller project, just in time for halloween. I got the idea from evil mad scientist labs and then saw BOA's haloween bot challenge, and thought I had to post it here.

Haha, that's great. I'm having a Halloween party at my house on Friday -- if I had a little more time I'd be tempted to make one of these of my own, put it on wheels or tank treads, and let it drive around the house chomping its teeth :) Good ingenuity.

You've just given "wet ware" a whole new meaning. Any relation to Frankenstein?

If I had more time, I could do something with a PIR sensor to detect movement.
