Truly Awesome! Are they a standalone prop or do they need to be connected to your computer to work? If they are standalone, what are you using for that?

great job!

They connect up to a linxmotion controller which connects to my laptop.

Hmmm. That's cool but too bad. i don't have enough computers to throw around the yard for all the thing I want to do lol. Has anyone found a controller for this type of thing that doesn't require a computer to be hooked up to it to operate. I understand you need the computer to program it. But, I'd like to just have a smallish weatherresistant box with the controller in it by the props. chicago can be rainy in October and I don't want computers outside or miles of computer connection wires trailing accross my yard and a computer warehouse in my basement for my little 25 x 10 plot of land.

Check out EFX-TEK controller section. They might have something that might work. I'm still learning about those that's why I haven't entered into that realm.

I think I might plan that for next year.

Yeah. I'm thinking that they have something that will work. I just haven't had the time to email them and find out what's the best option for what I want to do. Thanks for the How to. They look terrific.
