Build a pumpkin robot farm, then light up a jack o'lantern parade.
It's spooky season and the village wants jack o'lanterns. Lots of them. Build a robot that harvests for you.

- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Plant a pumpkin patch and build a robot that watches each pumpkin spot with an observer. When a pumpkin grows, a piston pops it loose for the catchers. Run the robot, count your haul, then carve jack o'lanterns to light a spooky parade.
Finish line: Your pumpkin robot harvests on its own, and a glowing jack o'lantern parade lights the way.
Bonus challenge: Bake pumpkin pies (pumpkin + sugar + egg) using sugar and eggs from your cake factory. Then hide one at the end of the parade as a prize.
You’ll need
- Pumpkin seeds
- Observers
- Pistons
- Hoppers and chest
- Shears
- Torches
You choose
- My robot's spooky name
- Parade route: path, tunnel or village street
- My bet for pumpkins in 10 minutes
Stuck?
- No pumpkins? Each stem needs an empty dirt, grass or farmland spot right beside it.
- Piston not firing? The observer's face must watch the pumpkin spot; its back powers the piston.
- Jack o'lantern: carve a pumpkin with shears, then craft it with a torch.
