So, I'm a senior in high school, but I also attend votech for engineering classes. Our school has a robotics team called Shockwave (1742). I'm just a helping hand to my peers this year since I was more involved last year, as a junior, when I was supposed to just be a helping hand. Oops. My teacher is familiar with my prop as costume making skills and has given me a special task this year: remake the shockwave mascot costume. Our challenge theme this year is a medieval defense tower type thing, so I'm making sci-fi armor to go over our blue morph suit.

The orange likes are the direction of LEDs in the suit. The black on the wrist and shoulder are the logo of the team as seen below. The double belts seen on the front and back sketches are utility belts that tools can be placed in to use on the robot. I'm still finishing plans for a helmet and leg pieces.
I was given football pads to build off of so my design is now being altered to more go with the shape of football pads. Here's what I've done so far. Sorry for the bad quality of the photo.

This project is on hiatus until further notice. Suit needs to be done for contest in late march. Occasional updates will be posted.
