Automaton control system (WIP)

Iv started the control system for my dragon puppet.  I dont have the money for fancy servo control systems or even servos really..  But I do have alot of sheet metal around.  So I am making a clockwork control system like the old 18th century automatons used.  This will be running off a little electric motor, not a spring. 

This is the main drive ear that the cams will sit on and be driven by.  And cam arms (little arms that roll ontop of the cams that are basically wavey gears)  will move with the rases and dips in the cams as they rotate and control the pulleys that will control parts of the dragon using steel cables.  

Here is an example of how the old clockwork automatons worked back in the day.  It really is amazing what they achieved with these www.chonday.com/Videos/the-wri…
