Here's a pretty simple animated marionette puppet using a couple wiper motors. Enjoy!

somebody here did a marionette crank arm style. Would love a little help finding said thread. Thx.

This our Hhouse is doing a museum theme. One of the ideas we had was to do a display of creepy dolls. I would like some of them to move, ie: heads turn, arm lifts, dancing marionettes. The rest would of course be static or live actor. I'm looking for cheap, cheap, cheap ways to do the animation...
