I'm not sure what posessed me to build something with six arms! As you can see by the pictures, this is primarily built from 1" PVC pipe. The "hands" are built from a variety of things like salad tongs, a plastic serving spoon, plastic clothes hangars, etc. The eyes are yogurt containers, and the base is the lid from a 30 gallon plastic box (I needed these containers for the Gonk project). The base is supported by a wood frame underneath and lawn mower wheels are attached to it. I attached some miscellaneous stuff like pieces of a computer keyboard, a car distributor component, and something from a broken electric screwdriver, to make it look more mechanical

I'm discovering that the more costume stuff you have around, the more possibilies you have to mix and match.
