This is a cast armature that houses various LED's to
 illuminate your Polar Lights Robby the Robot kit.
  There are three separate circuits:
  1. The "ear" LED's that illuminate the clear portions of
 Robbie's Ears/fins. Two LED's. If the fins on Robbie's ear are
 left clear (not painted ) these LED's will make the fins glow
 SPECIAL EDITION BLUE! Some of my firends have drilled a hole
 in the chrome cone shaped ear parts ( I beleive they are
 called Weapons Neutralizers). This allows the blue light to
 shine through just like the movie robot.
  2. The saxophone tube LED's - three LED's - allow you to light
 up the beautiful clear plastic tubes under Robbie’s Dome. You
 Just have to drill small holes were the tubes mount and the
 clear plastic acts like a light tube to great effect! With
 three LED's you get nice, even lighting - looks really cool.
  3. The most important - The Mouth LED. This LED is high output
 BLUE. The shape of the armature is such that it forms a "light
 box" that will keep the light from bleeding through other
 parts of the robot. You can paint the light box flat black to
 further enhance this effect.
  All resistors and connections have been cast into the armature
 for a nice clean assembly. Simply glue the armature inside
 Robbie's head and your done. You don't have to waste hours of
 time fabricating mounts for separate LED's. All three circuits
 can be operated independently and run off a 9V battery (or
 other 9VDC source). The ribbon cable can be run through the
 bottom of Robbie's foot and connected to your switches,
 microprocessor, or whatever device you plan on using to
 activate the lights.
  Retails:  $20.
