Make Some Cool Origami Bats for Halloween
This origami bat looks like it could be Batman’s calling card. Hey, the Joker has a playing card, so why not? Maybe Batman can leave this origami bat on unconscious thugs so the GPD knows to take them in.
This design is called Mantler’s Bat and was made by Marigami Origami. If you want to make some for Halloween or just for fun, there’s a handy step-by-step video tutorial showing you how to fold them. You can also check out the Manter’s Bat project page for more information about how to create this cool paper bat.
It’s probably about medium difficulty, but these bats are so cool you have to try your hand at making at least one.

Bat Robot Can Fly and Walk
This bat inspired robot can crawl around on all fours and it can fly. Just like a real bat. That makes them already superior to us. Now picture the skies filled with these things. Thanks science. It is called DALER, aka Deployable Air-Land Exploration Robot.
The crews at LIS, EPFL, and NCCR Robotics say that it was inspired by the common vampire bat. It has foldable, shockproof wings, and it crawl on the ground just like a bat. DALER can reach 20m/s in the air and 6cm/s crawling on the ground or the floor. Instead of spending it’s life hanging upside down all day and feeding on insects, they hope that one day it may someday take part in natural disaster rescue missions.
Check out how its wings fold in the video. Then watch how it crawls. Creepy stuff. Scientists are creating so many animal robots, that I firmly believe they will all fight one day to see who is the supreme robot race.

Bat Peg Clips: Bruce Wayne Did Laundry Too
On second thought, Bruce probably didn’t do his own laundry, seeing as how he probably has a dozen or so staff members just ready to do his bidding at Wayne Manor. But if he did, then he would totally approve of these Bat peg clip. Each of the clips features a bat with wings spread wide, as if it were ready to take flight while making sure that your clothes and blankets stay secure on the line.
You can also use them to clip together memos or seal bags of chips that you haven’t finished yet. You can get the clips online for $15.
