Over the past few months,
we have had requests to offer an Animatronics workshop by many
of our customers and others, so Blue Point Engineering along
with Wizard Devices is considering offering a workshop in the
very near future.
Would you be interested
in learning about Animatronics?
Some of the information
to be covered in the workshop:
Introduction to animatronics, past, current and future.
Principles of pneumatics, motor/solenoid controlling, lighting
effects, servo modification, and mechanical design as applied
to animatronic concepts. Motion and sound controller programming
and hardware setup. Applications of good animatronic design,
as well as other unique areas.
Students will also work
hands on with a variety of different controllers including, servo,
motor, pneumatic, sound effect boards and others control hardware
and animatronic props.
Students will at the end
of the workshop have an opportunity to take home several controllers
they work with, as well as several animatronic props they built
and animated as part of the workshop. Imagine taking home an
animatronic head you built and can program with sound and motion,
an LED effects controller or Pneumatic Valve Controller and other
working props.
Some of the animatronic controllers and items you work with and
take home include:
