when I was a kid I always liked to build those wooden dinosaur/dragon/spider kits. You know the ones that all linked together, no glue needed. I would pretend they would come to life and stuff like that. Well thanks to EZ Robot I am now making my dreams come true. I am building an animatronic Dragon in the same style as those wooden kits. I am using white plastic garbage cans as the main material for this build, I am also using some light wood for the main body to screw everything on to. Here is what I have so far.
Testing size of wing.

Thanks man, The controller is connected via Bluetooth yes. There is an option in the ARC to operate it. But you need a xbox360 wireless dongle. Just do an ebay search for XBOX 360 wireless PC. lots will come up. Hope this helps. There is a post about it on the boards here. https://synthiam.com/community/forum/posts.aspx?threadId=226
Thanks for the link
I appreciate it. Baby Dragon is so cool. It looks so nice and professional. All of my stuff looks like it was made from garbage in a garage. (Probably because it is lol
)
LOL, thank you I appreciate the compliments. You can't get much more garbage looking then the dragon after all it is being made out of garbage cans! lol. And you are welcome, glad I could help out.
This.is.amazing! We can't wait to see the end result and help share it with the world! Really great job so far
Thank you. I have been busy lately working on Halloween costumes for my 4 kids. But I finally found some time to finish baby dragon. I am sure I may tweak a few things here and there but overall she is done. She is not voice controlled, in the video I am just having some fun with her talking to her and then controlling her with an Xbox360 controller. Enjoy the video, and please I welcome any comments/suggestions and even helpful criticism.
Thank you.
Nice presentation and great servo work.
Thank you.
familyman, That has to be one of coolest EZ Robots and presentations. Great movements and introducing emotions. Very good! I like that you also give great attention to your family. Steve S
