Color Changing Tesseract From Loki

It's the Tesseract used in Loki and previous marvel movies before, such as Avengers: Endgame. Loki is seen using it to travel through time, and in Avengers: Endgame Loki tried using it against Thanos.

Supplies

Sphero LED robotic ball with the cube it came inside, frosted spray paint, and cotton for a pillow.

Step 1 - Finding a Cube to Act As a Tesseract

I had to find the perfect cube to act as the tesseract. Then I had to worry about how I was going to fit the cotton in the cube along with the LED robot. Which I did by making a small area in the cotton for the robot so you could see the glow equally in the cube without seeing the robot.

Step 2 - Finding the Right Can of Frosted Spray Paint

The next step to building the tesseract was finding the correct spray paint I needed. The one I used was clear semi-transparent finish, and the brand is Rust-Oleum. Then I had to adjust the LED robot inside to fit the freshly spray painted tesseract.

Step 3 - Picking the Right Color

Finally I had to pick the right color for the tesseract. I used an app called Sphero Education to code the robot to change it's color. After I did that, the last thing I had to do was pick the right shade for each color of the rainbow.
