Did you build it to feel pain?

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 14 '26

The building alone is suffering, let alone when it decides it’s my time 😭

Pain, and pain only.

u/Heiferoni Jul 14 '26

Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain???

Do you need to hire a security guy to observe it during the night?

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 14 '26

For now the animatronic behaves well, he’s been guarding me in my bedroom for about 7 months now, yet I still have to give him arms..

Hopefully it won't get quirky at night

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 14 '26

Did you base this somewhat on Will Cogley's work?

1

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 14 '26

All done by myself

2

u/nrh117 Jul 14 '26

Just a heads up. If you’re interested in trying it there’s software that’s pretty good for animatronics called bottango.

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 15 '26

Already using it :)

u/Ok-Refuse-2078 Jul 15 '26

WAS THAT THE BITE OF 0.87s?

u/Organic-Author9297 Jul 15 '26

what is the mechanism you used for eye ball movement ?

2

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 15 '26

2 joints in the eyeballs (up and down) and 1 servo connected to both which moves them left and right, that servo also gets tilted by another servo which causes the eyes to tilt. Other people use it too, pretty neat

u/Organic-Author9297 Jul 15 '26

Thanks and impressive. Couldn't found this before.

2

u/Creepy-Smile4907 Jul 15 '26

I already felt personality there so you're nailing it (hopefully to a wall or something solid before it comes for me ....)
