Hi, I'm building a miniature Bily Bob because where I live is impossible to get an authentic

Making small-scale and using that engine airplane toy I think I can make one for me

So I ask if someone knows an easy way to program these engines because I have no programming knowledge

Does anyone have a better option?

thanks

There is actually already a Mini Billy that was built by CEI. They turn up from time to time. He has 5 tiny motors in him that make up his 6 movements. There is a board member that created a way to program him also. Feel free to contact me for more information.

I think he ment he is building a custom one because the CEI prototypes are so hard and expensive to find. I am very interested to seehow this project will turn out.

I saw these mini Billy Bob and I thought it amazing. They are easy to find, how big was it?

Mini engines are not very difficult to control only needs to have an interface to control them.
But I'm not that smart to create a program to schedule the mini motors

Very interesting what you told me, he used the original toy for new songs?.
Does this guy can give me a hand?

Thank you.

Exactly, I'll try to do my own Billy Bob

I'll start with the face.
Even I can not use motors for movement at least finish the doll.

When started sculpting the face I'll put pictures here.


Thanks

You better post pics! On here once you say something interesting you have to give us updates or we get sad and feel neglected.
