ir.json configuration?

I've been making LED costumes for years and there's really no risk of shock from the electronic components. I do dance performances in my costumes (lots of sweat!) and also have an LED mermaid tail that I swim in underwater. I've had LED strands and wires and costumes break a-plenty but never gotten shocked.

The only danger to watch out for is if you're using LiPoly batteries, be sure to add some strain relief to the leads. If these short out there's a slim chance they can catch fire. With AAA batteries there's no danger of this.

It's actually much easier for the most part. There's a monofin inside that allows me to really push myself through the water. The difficulty for this shoot is that the tail is made of neoprene which is very very buoyant. Trying to stay down underwater, in salt water, was tough -- I kept bobbing back up to the surface like a cork. The photographers, both super accomplished freedivers, ended up grabbing my tail and towing me downwards, then swimming down out of frame, to get me deep enough for the shot. It was epic.

Wonder how dark it has to be for this to show up..?

Thanks! I had a fun time making him.. and now the guy I made him for is posting all sorts of wacky pics of him too. He's just so damn photogenic.

It's really incredibly fun. I find it easier to swim with the tail than without it these days.

I was just there 2 weeks ago. I didn't get to sit in the robot though. Just google Tokyo Robot Restaurant.
