My Animatronic Character Build Methods

We will be discussing the methods, materials, electronics, tools as well as some tips that I use to build the Animatronic mechanisms for my characters.
Beginners and more seasoned builders will find things here to help in your own projects.
Come with your questions and lets get to building.

Great show, thanks.

Really enjoyed this. Good stuff!

[@MechDickel]

Cool projects! Liked the DIY RC Controller.

[@halstaff]

Thanks. I'm pleased with ease and functionality the controller has. It will be even more useful when the audio daughter board is finalized.

Where do you get the metal plates from that form the frames?

Instead of big huge foam that's not going to fit, how about using the large holes in actobotics to hold 3d printed body parts. Snap and lock. Also from what i could tell they're phasing actobotics out, telling me, people complain its imperial threads and holes and not metric, where the USA will never change to metric, tried once before by Jimmy Carter, failed miserably.
