I like the vulture idea. If you did two rats and tug-of-war, it seems to me you'd need another motor for the other rat. As far as what would work, I am totally clueless. Just wanted to say I like the vulture idea. 
If they are playing tug of war that means they would each be holding the same rope. Just make the rope stiff and both of them will rock in unison. That way only one has to have a motor.I like the vulture idea. If you did two rats and tug-of-war, it seems to me you'd need another motor for the other rat.

I think two rats playing tug of war is very cool! While one rat is stationarey, the other rat could be hooked to the linkage arm of the motor. That would be cool.Okay so it wasn't really a reindeer but it is the same kind of motor that was in a Halloween dec I got cheap from Wal-mart. I do not like the dec so I am gutting it. So I was wonder what to do with the motor. But I am not sure how much torque it will handle if I use an extension arm to turn something. My idea was either a vulture pecking or ripping at some thing, using the motor to have the head moving back and forth with some meat hanging from its beak. Or I am leaning toward having two rats playing tug of war with something like a bone or the likes. So any other ideas or opinions on these two. I do not want to go through the trouble of building the prop and it not working. Thanks. By the way you people inspire me during this time of year. Thanks.
