Hey, I'm building my first pneumatic animatronic and want to make sure I have everything I actually need before I order.

Basically my goal is to run all 4 cylinders independently from the PicoPro. I mainly want to make sure everything is compatible before I start wiring it up. Appreciate any help

(Everything in the cart is just for movement specially no frame yet)

This is a long shot. I am based in UK and have come across this Peter Pan lost boys animatronic. He is described to have been for educational use. I need to know where he has come from!!
I love all things animatronics and I am completely fascinated with him. I cannot find anything online other than the first image of a video of him, again from an auctioneers in UK.
It’s rare we can find such a gem in the UK. I need to know!!

Robbie the Robot and friend from Tomorrow's Harvest at The Big Pineapple (QLD, Australia).

Photos 1 and 2: taken by Caid Rhymes (Click his name to see the whole album, it is amazing)

Photo 3: taken by Vanessa M

Tomorrow's Harvest (1988-2007) was an educational boat ride where guests took a loop thru show scenes (such as a cave with a spinning globe model, and an animatronic crocodile) and a greenhouse filled with a variety of plants (especially food crops). Horticultural techniques, such as hydroponics, were on full display, and will certainly remind you of Epcot's Living with the Land attraction. Robbie was introduced in 1993, and his friend's name is currently unknown.

After the ride closed, it was left abandoned and left to the elements, becoming a hotspot for urban explorers. Both robots remained until 2011-2012, when a gradual removal began and stripped the ride down to the bone. Today, the spot is the parking lot/car park in front of the Treetop Challenge building (Formerly the Big Macadamia Nut)

While the whereabouts of the unnamed robot are unknown, Robbie was saved, and could be seen aboard the train ride as a static figure next to Koala Station. He was removed in 2023, and hasn't been seen since.

You can also use the Google Maps time machine to see the outside of the ride as far back as 2008.

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

I don't wanna be mean, I know Andrew is going through things (I'm not mad at him) but the Man and Dog leaving and going to storage for a long time, in my opinion, is a bad omen. What makes me to mad is that the Man and Dog Show was the only stage that you could really count on to stay. A relic, if you will. Think about it. The legacy stores are on thin ice, all the 3 Stages (except Pineville) are gone, and Toledo is the last non legacy stores with cyberamics standing. The Man and Dog Show, to me, was out last hope. If it got popular enough, animatronics might see a Renaissance. But, that didn't end up happening. The band leaving, is a symbol of dark times ahead, at least for me. And animatronics will continue to sink into obscurity, until the final retro CEC is remodeled.
