That is just limited thinking.
1) Build giant robots that walk on beaches
2) ...
3) Profit!

You can just...do that, you know?

Now we're getting somewhere...

Since only the 'skin' on the outside is opaque, I figured out that if you take a diamond burr to it, you can strip it off and light it from the outside. This is getting closer to what I want.

I'm going to need some brighter LED strips.

Lighting it from the middle is neat, but not great in the infinity mirror setup. (Also, I promise it looks better in pictures than it does in reality!)

Still trying different things - haven't landed on something that really works yet.

That's definitely going to need to be brighter - it's also hard to take a video of!

Oooh - put a thermal camera on that and see if it's a good inductive heating element!

It's mounted on a ESP-S3 that is programmed to show up as a HID keyboard. Board and code here: github.com/illumneo/cap...

Yep! Here it is with my hexpansion on it (with my hexpansion to SAO adapter)
