Animatronic Eyes
Wolf Tronix was commissioned to build the Animatronic Eyes, it took about a week to build them, the Eyes are linked left/right and up/down and have independent blinks
Assorted pics of the Eyes:
Movement range tests
Eyes from above and side
Initial mock up of the eyelids
Final mock up of the eyelids, the Eyes are actually built while they are upside down
Final movement and collision tests to make sure the eyes do not hit the eyelids, Eyes are now right side up
Close-up pics of the linkages and eyelid
Final Eyes, with on board microcontroller and electronics, designed to run at 12 volts
