Animatronics For Beginners?: Maxwell From Bottango

In this video, I show you Maxwell the animatronic bird kit from Bottango and build it! Overall, I was really impressed with this kit and I think it's a great option if you are looking to get into animatronics. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that Bottango has their own animatronic show software that's available to the public so check that out even if you don't have a kit.

What a great job building Maxwell, and an awesome vid! Happy you enjoyed building him, and thanks for the kind words :)

[@gamegineerlabs]

Thank you so much! This is an awesome kit and I can't wait to see what else you come up with! I've got a ton of animatronic projects on the brain and your software if going to be my go-to for all my animatronic builds :D

I just built animatronic eyes and was looking for a way to animate them this is perfect thank you so much!

[@gamegineerlabs]

Be on the lookout for my next video! I built some animatronic eyes as well and I'm going to show off how to use them with Bottango :D

[@nicolegriffin3287]

Awesome! I will absolutely check it out!@@gamegineerlabs

Thanks for the video. We have a 10 year old who just loves this stuff, and I feel it is a good time for him to learn how to build them.

[@gamegineerlabs]

That’s amazing! Your 10 year old is going to love this kit!

I started a design for an animatronic and I realized that i have no clue how the hell it'll work, so this helps

How long did it take to assemble? From start to playing a song how long? I am considering this as a joint project for a 9 year old, his dad and I (grandpa) but I don't want to bite off more than we can chew. Thanks - nice video!

[@gamegineerlabs]

Only a few hours and I think the song is like a minute and a half? Overall I think it would be a great project to do together!

[@OdensMovieMagic]

How long did it take for shipping?

[@gamegineerlabs]

I think it only took 3 days? It was pretty quick to get but I'm fairly certain that Evan, the creator of Bottango, puts every kit together so it could take a little longer than that depending on the backlog.
In any case, this kit is awesome and you get to help a small business in the process!

I have a question can u have other songs for him and make a video to show me

[@CDgamesofficial]

You can go to the add track button and press the add audio or video button. You may need to import a new audio file. Hope this helps.

[@skullmothstudios713]

What is the name of the song Maxwell was performing too?

[@gamegineerlabs]

It's called "When I'm Put Together". Not sure who the credited artist would be but you could ask the creator, Evan, on Discord: discord.com/invite/wyhSMQb

5:52 after you snapped your fingers it looked much worse. Maybe just on my iPad

Starting at 4:08 I can’t understand you because of the music. It’s 2024. YT videos don’t need constant music to be worth watching. It’s annoying.

[@gamegineerlabs]

It’s 2024, no need to leave annoying comments 🤷🏾‍♂️
