Mechatronic Pumpkin — Definitively the dumbest and least robust thing I’ve ever made

Introducing the Jack-O-Lantern of the 21st Century! It’s got it all folks, multicolored LEDs, an Ultrasonic mister, and a motion sensor!

Can your jack-o-lantern shake violently upon the approach of an unassuming trick-or-treater? Spew mist out of it’s creepy face? Does your jack-o-lantern rot in hours instead of days because turns out that adding moisture to the inside of a pumpkin supercharge it’s bacteria growing capability?

For the record, my electronics prototyping looks a lot better now than it did then.

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever made.
