Dave makes his – and maybe your – kid’s heart beat faster, because for Halloween he made his own Pokémon and dressed up as Ash Ketchum.
“Pokémon was a huge part of my childhood and I continued to love it as I grew up,” Dave introduces his video and surely some of you can agree. Armed with the right gear, the Canadian YouTuber creates the life-size pocket monster Blitza.
Dave Wins Halloween
This is not the first time the YouTuber has dealt with robots on his channel “(Dave’s Armoury)”. He has already created his personal servant who brings him beer on command or programmed a robot to grill steaks.
This time, however, he had to show more of his creative side by using 3D printing, paint, construction foam and co. to transform his robot “UNITREE GO1” into a Blitza. Fittingly, he dressed up as Ash Ketchum.

How was the Blitza created? Dave used different 3D prints for the head and its details, which he glued together and applied the appropriate colour. For the body, the Canadian has mainly used carved construction foam and foam and partially glued over it with yellow fabric.
