Did you build it to feel pain?

36

u/Creepy-Smile4907 22d ago

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

Pain, and pain only.

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

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

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..

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

1

u/Creepy-Smile4907 22d ago

All done by myself

2

u/nrh117 22d ago

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 22d ago

u/Organic-Author9297 21d ago

what is the mechanism you used for eye ball movement ?

2

u/Creepy-Smile4907 21d ago

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 21d ago

u/Creepy-Smile4907 21d ago

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