Build your own animatronic hand using cardboard, straws, some cord, and rubber bands. Pull the cords to actuator fingers -- or even better, let some servo motors do it for you!
CRICKIT is the perfect platform for building your animatronics projects -- it can take commands from your Circuit Playground Express and then power your servos. You can even add lights and sound later if you like.
Materials & Supplies
In addition to the parts above, you'll need:
- Corrugated cardboard from a shipping box or two
- Drinking straws
- Cord, yarn, or string
- Rubber bands
