If there’s one thing kids love more than robots, it’s candy.  I imagine some day kids won’t have to go out on Halloween, opting instead to send their robots to more efficiently collect candy for them.  What would a robot Halloween look like?  Well, you came to the right place.  Let’s get in the Halloween mood with these robot costumes and some truly frightening robots.
