我创造了这个巨型机器人来安全地在万圣节分发糖果

我创造了这个巨型机器人来安全地在万圣节分发糖果

The year 2020 has been interesting, to say the least, so it’s not surprising that Halloween is a bit different too. Last year, my husband, toddler, and I dressed up as pirates and handed out goodie bags and glow sticks. But this year, like many other folks, we decided to go for a more hands-off approach by adhering to social distancing guidelines.

至少可以这么说，2020年是很有趣的一年，所以万圣节也有些许不同也就不足为奇了。去年，我还在蹒跚学步的丈夫和我装扮成海盗，分发糖果袋和荧光棒。但是今年，像其他许多人一样，我们决定采取一种更不干涉的方式，遵循社交距离指南。

This candy holder is made out of cardboard boxes and is almost 8 feet tall. It has an acrylic window that displays all the candy capsules. The capsules rest on a ramp and continuously roll towards the tray as the tray is being emptied. Thought this would be a great idea to maintain social distancing while trick or treating!

这个糖果盒是用硬纸盒做成的，差不多有8英尺高。它有一个显示所有糖果胶囊的丙烯酸窗口。胶囊停留在一个斜坡上，并持续滚动到托盘上直到被清空。我觉得这是个好主意，可以在玩“不给糖就捣蛋”的游戏时保持社交距离!

I had some cardboard boxes lying around from our recent move, which gave me the perfect opportunity to use them to make the giant cardboard robot

我有一些纸板箱，因为我们最近搬家，这给了我一个完美的机会来使用它们来制造巨大的纸板箱机器人

I packed candy in capsules a month ahead and “quarantined” them so there was no risk of them being contaminated. Each two-inch capsule fit one fun-size Oreo chocolate and one robot tattoo.

我提前一个月将糖果包装成胶囊，并对它们进行“隔离”，这样就没有受到污染的风险。每个两英寸的胶囊装上了一个有趣大小的奥利奥巧克力和一个机器人纹身。

When building the robot, I didn’t realize how big it would turn out to be!

造机器人的时候，我没有意识到它会有多大!

It is almost 8 feet tall and towers over my 3-year-old. I made the head detachable just so we could take it in and out of the house!

它几乎有8英尺高，超过了我3岁的孩子。我把它的头做成可拆卸的，这样我们就可以把它带进带出房子了!

Here is a closer look at the window on the robot

这是近距离观察机器人的样子

I added a Trick/Treat meter right above it. Deciding which font to use took me some time! I tried swirly letters, block letters and in the end, settled for a font similar to Rae Dunn letters. A simple font was the best way to go!

我在它上面加了一个恶作剧/款待计量器。决定使用哪种字体花了我不少时间!我试过旋转字母，大写字母，最后，我选择了类似于Rae Dunn字母的字体。简单的字体是最好的选择!

The back of the robot has an opening to put in all the candy capsules. The claws were secured to the dryer duct vent using zip ties and later strung up to the ceiling with a white cord.

机器人的后面有一个开口，可以放进所有的糖果胶囊。这些爪子被用拉链系在烘干机的风道通风口上，之后又用一根白绳子吊在天花板上。

And finally, here’s what it looks like at night!

最后，这是它在晚上的样子!

I still have to add more lights to the yard, but this is it for now. Also, the capsules will be put into the robot on Halloween, in case you noticed the window being empty.

我还需要给院子增加更多的灯，但现在就这些了。此外，胶囊将在万圣节时放入机器人，以防你注意到窗户是空的。

The finishing touch was the lighted banner

点睛之笔是点燃的旗帜

I used white cardboard as a background. The letters were cut out of the remaining flaps of the mover’s boxes. I spray-painted them and used a circular sponge for the polka dots. The entire sign was framed using the leftover cardboard from the TV box and was later painted blue. I used globe string lights and inserted them into the “frame.”

我用了白色的硬纸板作为背景。这些字母是从搬运工的箱子上剩下的盖子上剪下来的。我喷涂了它们，用一个圆形的海绵做了圆点。整个广告牌是用电视盒剩下的纸板裱起来的，后来被漆成了蓝色。我使用球形串灯并将它们插入“框架”中。
