I started building this around September, but I decided a might as well make a forum about it. This show will consist of 5 animatronics total.baby Kate kitty, the momma kitty, scrapper(he will pop in and out of a garbage can) unnamed guitar player and unnamed drummer( I will have names for them soon tho). So far I have only built the frame for scrapper and I'm going to retrofit this TR frame and circuit board into baby Kate. The TR mouthpieces will be fabricated over with white fur but I will retain the eyes. I'm currently searching for small pencil line air cylinders for the head mechs. I plan to run the entire show with this tape player(Pioneer RT-1011L) but I haven't built the computer to do so yet. More updates as I go along

The good thing is I'm not using that teddy ruxpin in head for baby Kate anymore(I Bought a teddy ruxpin body shell online and put together the remaining parts I had to make a complete bear) I made baby Kate into a choo choo type character Edited by TRANSTAR LEXINGTON, Jan 10 2016, 09:50 AM.

So that's will be 50 movements. What kind of movement are you looking at? Motor or servo? |

You could get 2 or 3 of this. I do not know if they will work or not. You'll have to build an program to control every single movements. I was planning on buying one for testing. http://www.syscone.com/products/com-srv20-serial-servo-controller |
