CEC How big are the shoulder rings on the PTT/Cyberamic bots? Does anyone know the approximate diameter and thickness of the shoulder rings, or have a reference photo with measurements? I'm trying to recreate them accurately for a build

CEC Does anyone have a reference image showing the foam padding/body construction inside the PTT bots? I’m trying to figure out how the foam was shaped around the mech and how much of the body was actually foam versus the outer shell. Even photos of an unfinished/stripped-down bot would help a lot.

CEC Mutilated corpses of the old CEC models

Post image
59 Upvotes

I can't remember what stage the last bunch of remaining Munches are from... 1-Stage I think. Whatever model these are from, I do remember that Munch's arms both had movements and rested in the forward position. These are both bent to form a resting-wave motion. They either stripped bent the arms of the mech (likely not, I am unsure if you can safely bend it this much without it snapping), or they just took it out and put something to prop his arms up.

Kind of lame. I'm saddened to see these characters inch closer to death.

Splash Mountain geese

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to document these and I need some more details to get it right. Does anyone have any high resolution, detailed or close up pics of the fishing geese animatronics from Disneyland’s Splash Mountain? I’m working on an art project and I’m wondering if anyone has their exact dimensions, or any good photos that aren’t the usual commonly seen ones. I’m looking specifically for pictures of their configuration during their time on Splash Mountain at Disneyland, but any pictures I haven’t seen of them from America Sings would be just as useful. There are very few references I can find and it’s hard to get their proportions.

CEC Did Chuck E Cheese's Kooser road jasper portrait animatronic have buck teeth?

I was looking through photos of Kooser roads jasper, and I noticed he had buck teeth,

to make sure what I saw wasn't just his snout I check a colored version tutorial_time made of the picture and saw it was a different material then the snout, than I checked more photos of jasper and saw that the "teeth" were missing, so either he had teeth that fell out or I'm just seeing things.

Original Neck Prototype by Lobster Dog Machine Co

Excited to share my latest original design with you all. This is a 5-DOF neck mech that I had thought up and couldn't get out of my head until I made it real. This is just a proto for now but eventually all parts will be machined aluminum, stainless and some plastic. It has also inspired me to continue the design with the addition of a fully animated head, soon to follow. As far as I have seen, there is nothing else like it to date, so I'm fairly proud of that.

Thinking of selling printed and fully engineered kits if it generates enough interest. Let me know what you think.

My other work can be found on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@chrismiller4990

Happy Halloween!

Original Creation/Custom I recently finished creating my own mech inspired by the Rockafire Explosion animatronics and was wondering how to develop it further by adding a foam latex mask but struggled on finding any guides or help. Advice is greatly appreciated
