I only have one costume and have to consider baggage weight limits as well. I have a new costume planned for much later this year, but that's still in the very early planing phase. This means I'll be using the Black Widow costume or be out of costume.
I will probably work on updated boots and some other small bits for the Black Widow costume. The original LED designs in the costume were for a night club setting, so the LEDs are a bit dim in daylight. A transistor-driven version of the bracers with better power supplies would be nice. The two versions that I have already done both use the Arduino outputs to directly drive the LEDs and uses CR2032 batteries, so I had to be very careful to keep the current draw low enough.
I look forward to the meeting. I'm totally new to Dragon Con, so meeting others & chatting a bit should give me a better idea of what to do during the rest of the weekend. When I went to Wizard World in February, I spent most of my time in panels, not really interacting with people all that much (I tend to be introverted, so initiating contact with strangers is a difficult barrier).
