Thanks..Although sometimes it feels more like the other way around!

You know dr. I really don't know who I am going to vote for. Seeing your prop, I am swaying to vote for your prop. But, with a little cash advance I might vote for your prop. LOL.

I hear doctors make good money. Time to get the checkbook out!
Of course, under the table is the preferred method of payment.

 

[Dr Morbius]

Hehe..Oh...you guys slay me.

I know what you mean..I lay awake thinking about how I can do things with toys and cheap cd players that others do with expensive software and servos. I have another idea, and I will post the project progress on the forums as I go along..Oh man, if you liked Wilfred, you aint seen NOTHIN yet!

MWaaahahahaaa!

I'm doomed. After seeing your prop I don't even know why I would bother to enter. It is incredible when you think of he cost.
By the way, I used to work at Berekley Farms Dairy in San Mateo and had a good friend who lived in Castroville before I moved to little Spokane, Washington.
Anyway kids are finally in bed, time to get to work!!

 

[Dr Morbius]

HA! I really hated Castroville..That's why I moved.

Anyways, don't let the thought of losing stop you..The whole idea of the challenge is to see what people come up with! I'm sure we would all like to see your finished prop.

Exceptionally nice work Doc...I LOVE the position of the head and eyes! I'm really impressed that you managed to build an animatronic prop for less than twenty bucks. Beautiful job!

 

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks BW!

Did you modify the servos to just give power to the motor and then they run constantly and 360 degrees? Or was the other controller compatible the the truck receiver?

 

[Dr Morbius]

I'm really not sure if these can be considered "Servos". They have a geard shaft and a stop limit. They have circuitry which I'm not sure has a potentiometer in it, as I haven't cracked them open. I used the power leads from the motors themselves, and hard wired them directly to a hardwired switchbox. No radio control. I think they are a cheap type of servo, but I've never seen a configuration like that before. When I disect them, I'll let you know more.
