Now you can take the exact same first steps that Aaron took to eventually create the "Rock-afire Explosion™" animatronics band. The show that made Showbiz Pizza Place's, the world's largest national chain to implement animatronics, a household name and rocked the country!
This kit contains the necessary elements and instructions to create one audio synchronized movement. From here you can add a second, a third, and many more movements to create your own character or an entire show of any complexity.
These components are not toys. The Animatronics Experimenter's Kit (AEK) contains REAL, industrial air cylinders, valves and control circuits that may be used to control heavy devices just like in the Rock-afire Explosion!
Not only do you get the underlying mechanics, but the starter kit contains a real animatronics mask. Combined with the included mechanism, the air cylinder will control a mouth movement for which you will record your first audio track and program the movements!
NO COMPUTER REQUIRED! That's right, the AEK can be programmed with or without the use of a computer. A PC can be used to enhance the performance and accuracy of your work programming a show tape, but you could actually use a standard cassette recorder or any other kind of stereo tape recorder to create your own custom shows.
Enhanced programming of the head can be accomplished with audio editing software that is NOT included with the kit. Aaron includes links and a demonstration of how to use 3rd party audio editing software in conjunction with the kit.
You can use software to create your show audio track and then you can edit your tones in the same program to precisely control the mouth movements. If and when you expand beyond one control signal to control other things, you can mix the tones required to control multilple movements with the same audio mixing software and actually see the control signal waveforms adjacent to the audio track.
Simple, but detailed instructions are included explaining how to enhance the audio production and programming of your show with the capabilities of a computer. When it is time to play your show, you can play it back off of a computer, or a tape player or a CD player or an mp3 player like an IPOD. A computer does not have to be connected for playback.
Your Animatronics Experimenter's Kit includes a custom, professional grade latex mask! This mask is unpainted and ready for you to customize to your liking. The possibilities are unlimited for what you can do with your kit. Create your own body for the character, use the body of a stuffed animal, or run it as a talking head. You are the inventor, do what works for you!
Here's a great example of how you can use your Animatronics Experimenter’s Kit. Build your character using the parts and instructions in the kit. "Program" your very own custom show, with or without a computer, using Aaron's Secret programming methods. Place YOUR custom animatronic in a real-life window display. You now have a powerful marketing tool. Own your next trade show by adding your animatronic to your booth! All this can be accomplished with any standard, inexpensive MP3 player and a small air compressor and the parts supplied in the kit. You now have a crowd stopping, customized, animatronic display - WHICH YOU CREATED!
