Meet our Cuddlefish

Prepare to be mesmerized

The Cuddlefish mutant vehicle, built on a heavily modified electric golf cart, is designed to showcase our creativity and foster a sense of community at Burning Man. Our goal is to create a visually stimulating and interactive experience both day and night while providing rides for fellow participants.

Constructed with meticulous attention to detail, the vehicle features a large robotic cuttlefish head with poseable tentacles replacing the original front end. The tentacles are made of inflatable material with internal rod support, allowing flexibility and movement. Each tentacle contains LED lighting, adding to the visual appeal. The eyes consist of two half-multifaceted spheres with programmable LEDs, enhancing the overall appearance. All LEDs are centrally controlled and programmed to display hypnotic patterns, which are also sound-reactive, ensuring a captivating experience.

To accommodate more passengers, the vehicle's rear has been expanded and covered with metal rib hoop structures resembling a cuttlefish torso. These ribs arch over the seating area, with cloth material resembling sheet metal framing the torso. Porthole-shaped windows and a cloth fin that flaps while the vehicle moves further accentuate the nautical theme. The fin's spine is also equipped with LED lights, synchronized with the head, tentacles, and eyes.
