Animatronics for Fun, if not Profit

It may seem crazy in this computer graphics-laden world, but it seems like it's easier than ever to get started in animatronics and robotics as a hobby.

Here, for example is ALEX, a simple animatronic kit from BPE Solutions. You can upgrade it to make it talk automatically with audio. Buy lots of them and have your own Picasso-meets-Disney Theme Park ride!

They also offer an animatronics book for the aspiring Faz Fazakis or Stan Winston in your life.
