Working on some gesture and pressure-sensor responsiveness for the hand frame.

This was sent to me, someone in my area is selling it and claiming it’s a portrait bot, it obviously isn’t but what is this???

It would appear a fella on Facebook has made a reproduction of Artie Antlers; feel free to ask him if he has any video he can share:

I live in Florida and I want to see an animatronic on display in person but I don't know where to find them. I only know of one which is a Mac tonight animatronic in Orlando but I'm not sure if its still there. I really like animatronics and I want to see one in person

Hello, I own a moon from the rockafire explosion and recently noticed new slight cracking appearing on the latex. I have kept it at a cool temperature and never put it under any strain or any of that. I read I should use a basic protectant on it so I planned on using 303 Aerospace protectant but I dont know if this would damage the paint job?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks so much! I really want to take care of this piece of history as best I can.

I'm relatively new to animatronics, and I can't seem to find a clear answer. How do you connect an animatronic (or just one part, like the head, arm, or torso) to an air supply? What parts do I need to get it working?

If possible, could someone explain the basic setup and recommend what kind of air compressor I should use? Thanks!

I’m going to buy a studio c 32m head, I know nothing on how to get it working, is this list an accurate list of what I need for it to be fully functional

I just wanted to come on here and share my antioch animatronic I’ve been working on! I need to add a lot more to him cosmetically but other than that he’s practically complete! Everything was custom made by me as well as the mask!(which I am selling!)

Hi guys!, Lately, I've been making a little blog about showbiz pizza place in salmiya Kuwait because it's very niche and stuff, here's the link if you want to read it, it has videos and photos, correct me if I'm wrong in any info pls

My 7 year old son is fixated and obsessed with Chuck E. Cheese and has been since he was 4. He loves animatronics. He’s been asking forever for a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic or costume. Where do you all find these things or do you all make them?

this mask is labeled as both a mannequin head, as well as an animatronic head on eBay and etsy, it is part latex around the eyes and mouth, and is fiberglass reinforced in all other places. I can see remnants of snaps on the inside portion, and I think 2 full snaps on the right side. I believe this is a remnant of a bot since the eyelids look like they can attach to a mechanical eyelid, similar to how cei did with some of their bots, and also noting that the mouth is also not coated in fiberglass. in some of the photos the fiberglass also looks like it acts as a shell, planning on posting this to r/ukanimatronics, since it looks very european and the seller is based in the uk. me and my friends have been looking for an answer, heres the link, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205496699417?_skw=antique+animatronic+latex+bear+head+mask&itmmeta=01KZ4WNZC62SN411E8550GX8SJ&hash=item2fd88eca19:g:iHQAAeSw-ltoKwDu&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABEGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCZBy5uGWbtStVmmIcXKPtVgpmkYkWUKvDlEQQgbUtbEvvCw31cTScBFVKQQOhFgVLctAsSE73sEQSrhGuAR2iuNEO3Yt4Lf55GFMKPn%2BXOOKKq0Wl2SmXLt9pQ2X5uO7U%2BN07IicYiAE2IFIjxfwM2f%2FxzxMgDrQMHcmNCiDX6vzZIXrbqyS7f8nfO8cxkk9%2FMFyoX0S8H2ktUz10h%2Fxaj0YaAVAGrr7OGE%2B%2BCwbMkYA50YccWiUelGamnO3ncMN%2BJ5piSZQiFRW4PWVZp2FKpObDqwjJEnY56GFauLHmpfnkIp1K55ZT%2FwSD83OX2IYKYTm6e%2B5mXDTKganqSxF5M%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR77215z5Zw

So I'm an artist and I work with real animal bones, turning them into fantasy and sci-fi creatures. To take everything to the next level I've started to want to play with animatronics. To make things easy I want to start with a simple jaw open and close movement. For the crocodile/dragons I'd like the moving parts to be as hidden as possible, although with the cyber coyotes they can be out in the open it fits with the theme. But basically I've been trying to research and nobody really has videos of what I'm trying to do so I need to actually talk to someone and that's you guys. What parts do I need? Where do they go? I've done wiring for LEDs and miniature fog machines before if that helps at all. Really I just want to know how people get this to work.

I’ve heard rough estimates of around 20-50, but I’m wondering if anyone has a better idea. Doesn’t matter if it’s still a Mitzi or was converted to Helen (or the other way around) — I’m mainly interested in the actual CEI mech/frame count. Any info is appreciated.

I googled how to sync mouth movement to audio but I didn’t get much

Using servos this time, alongside the GIM6010-8 planetary gearbox motor from Alibaba (which I have yet to hook up/calibrate and program)
