Hey Folks,
Have you seen the animatronic Chimpanzee head for sale on
the Sharper Image web site. I saw one for sale at One of the
stores.One of my first thoughts was about hacking this thing.
I'm not that skilled in electronics though.The price is only
$150.00 or so.The servo motors to build such a head would cost more.If anyone ot there does hack a head let us know on the board. A lot of the devices are out there make the job easier.
My robot was out talking to the kids this Trick or treat night.He is using a 6-channel radio control now.The control
board inside him is pretty ugly,but it works.If you have any
questions about him just post-em.
later,
Matt Urban
