Title: head mechanics - where to buy
Post by: andysell on April 03, 2008, 02:34:58 AM

This is one of the neatest I've seen. Does anyone know or have the schematics on how to build it (head mechanics only - moving eyes: Left,right,up down, moving lips, moving neck: pan and tilit.) Its a commercial robot from http://www.iirobotics.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=70_101&products_id=310 .

This looks very similar, but no mouth.

why so expensive ?

the metal shouldn't cost you that much and the servos aren't that expensive
