I've been contacted by Servo Magazine and invited to write a monthly column on Do It Yourself Animatronics. I guess they were pleased with the work I did last year for the October issue with Papa VooDoo (they did put him on the cover).
I'll be exploring many different methods, motors and controllers that are available. Hopefully in the process we can all learn some new tricks.
The first column will come out in the June issue.
Any suggestions on topics you'd like to see covered would be appreciated.
Maybe as Haunters, we're finally being recognized!

Maybe stuff for beginners would be a good place to start because I have NO clue how to do anything like that but would love to.

The digital edition of the July issue of Servo Magazine is out! It has my column on "Getting Started in Animatronics" as requested. I hope this helps get some started with their own Animatronic projects.
