Hi everyone,
Earlier this year I got interested in learning how to use basic servo motors to do simple animations, but figured I would wait until after Halloween and do it for next year's haunt... But now I am itching to do something with one of my new props this year. I have two large dolls (CVS's 9.99 "wispy-walker" dolls) that I have dressed all in white, going to pose them (and a third in the middle) as if they are jumping rope, like from nightmare on elm street. Maybe have the 1,2 Freddy's coming for you song playing on a loop near them.
So now I really want to make the jump rope spin. I was going to shape a covered wire to be the rope. Anyone have ideas on how to do this? Could I mount one motor into the chest of one doll, run the wire straight through a washer or something in her hand, then attach the other end to a swivel by the other doll's hand?... It would even be cool just to have the spinning rope and song with NO dolls, now that I think of it...
Any ideas appreciated. They are creepy enough with no motion, but I do need to spread my wings a little.
