RingBot was a ring-bearing bot made for my friends Rob and Emily's wedding.

It's a pretty simple design - reflecting a mix of retro 1950s gadgetry and cheesy wedding themes. It begins closed, shiny and mysterious. A simple wave of the hand over the back of it begins the petals opening. They pull back, opening slowly, revealing two purple pillows nestling the rings on a bed of rose petals.

I was honored that they let me build something for their wedding, and everybody enjoyed it (even though we didn't end up getting the rings inside because of all the excitement).
