Well now that I know I can build a reliable and fully functional skull, I figure I will tackle something like this for next year.

I think I will try my use of gears and torsion springs for the shoulders. I was truly amazed that after using reduction on the nod servo and putting in a torsion spring. Jeepers Creepers ran the entire night on one C cell 1500 MAH 7.2 pack. That was with about 70 routines run.

As far as your work and this theatrical effort. Gonna take one heck of an effort to come even close to matching it, but I am gonna try.

HB, very nice job on everything!! Have you thought of using "air muscles" for the arm movement? Just wondering if that was an option. Again very nice job!!

Wow Bob, once again a fantastic routine that's better than the one before it! Kudos!
You've really come a long way from your fishing rod days!

I wanted to say THANKS to everyone at HalloweenForum for all of the great information and assistance this past year. I know there is no way I could've tackled a project like this without all of your help. A special thanks to the guys at graveyardskulls for making it even easier. Here is my video for 2009:

Ok, what's the trick to embedding a youtube video?

Nevermind - figured it out. See video in previous post above.

Thanks...

I have started a new thread with all my new videos from 2009 in it instead of posting them each here.

You can see them all here:

I can't believe I read 179 pages of posts. Now I need to build this dam thing, I'm vested way to far not to.

Time to start ordering parts
