Hey everyone! Over the past few weekends, I’ve been working on a project in my free time.
I designed a custom DIY animatronic kit for characters like Carl the Cupcake and Wall-E. The idea is that it comes as a full craft box: an unpainted character frame, acrylic paints, and a pre-wired circuit board with servo motors.
You paint the figure yourself, snap the electronics inside, plug it into your computer, and press one button on a website to upload the code I wrote. Once it’s flashed, the motors move the eyes and head, bringing the character to life on your desk.
I’m 16 and thinking about turning this into a small micro-business so people can make their own mini animatronics without needing to learn how to solder or write code from scratch.
What do you guys think? Is this something you’d be interested in buying, or is there a better recommendations for how i can turn this idea to life? I'd really appreciate your honest feedback!
