Meet Crafty the Bot

During O Week, Crafty the bot will be seen at a variety of locations across campus, and with everyone’s help he will come together and light up.

Here’s your chance add your 1 of the 576 squares to bring Crafty the bot to life!

Crafty the bot has been fabricated from materials that were destined for landfill!

  • The clear acrylic was a sneeze guard protecting us from COVID-19
  • The timber frame has been sourced from a decommissioned Warman track from 2021
  • The back lighting is left over LED lighting from the build of Melbourne Connect.
