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

Final mock up of the eyelids, the Eyes are actually built while they are upside down
