Project JULIUS
This robot is made from milk cartons. His name is Julius. The robot is created using the "collapsible cube" technology. This project uses elements of my previous projects: "Collapsible Cube", "Milky Rubik's Snake", "This Is the House Where Hamster Lives". All of these projects can be found on this site.
This craft is like a constructor kit, and the assembly is like a puzzle.
And the photo session turned into a balance game...
Supplies
Paper milk carton with plastic neck
Сardboard toilet paper tube
As always, no glue is needed!
Introductory Stage / PIN
How to make this element, see "Milky Rubik's Snake" (Step 6)

Introductory Stage / AXIS
The cardboard toilet paper tube is cut lengthwise. Rolls into a cylinder with a smaller diameter. The element can be strengthened by inserting the cap inside.

How to make this element, see "Milky Rubik's Snake". You may not need to make all the holes in the parts.
Introductory Stage / PRIZM-60
This element is very similar to PRIZM-90. It differs in that an equilateral triangle lies at the base (see attached stencil).
