How about spending it on creating the coolest robot Halloween costume ever!
That's exactly what DrWormsie did for Halloween this year (2010). He spent countless hours and over 1 grand to create the robot costume of his dreams. He also created a little accompanying costume for his wife. I bet every child in the world wishes this couple was their parents!
I hope the amount of candy he received from trick or treating made up for the effort he put into this!
The costs of materials he used:
"Sheet metal, aircraft aluminum, and other parts: $600.
Rivets, bolts, hardware: $250.
Tool purchases/rentals: $200.
Spraypaint: $90.
Truck rental to carry costume: $210.
Hours: 250+.
Looking like you could take down a tank: priceless."
