    We built a robotic wrist and gripper to move a commercial hand puppet. The components mainly came from Lynxmotion and VSA was used to encode the motion. The audio is from a rehearsal session for the Thriller video. It can be purchased from Amazon.

    Here is a video of the puppet in action:

    Thanks. We were pretty happy with it too. I'm planning to build on what we learned with the dragon to build a graveyardskulls skull this weekend. If it turns out well, I'll post a video.
