Advanced Animatronics dives deeper into the systems that make complex animatronics work: refined motion, layered control, stronger mechanical design, and electronics that can handle wear and tear. Instead of simple “one-servo, one-button” builds, you’ll learn how to design and integrate complete animatronic systems.
You’ll learn how to:
• Design and refine multi-axis motion systems
• Create smoother, more natural movement through timing, easing, and motion planning
• Build stronger, serviceable mechanical assemblies for long-term use with higher quality materials
• Integrate advanced control systems (such as Bottango-style animation workflows with custom coding, RC layering, or hybrid control methods)
• Manage power distribution and wiring for complex builds
• Reduce noise, jitter, backlash, and mechanical wear
• Troubleshoot and iterate on real animatronic problems
This course emphasizes system-level thinking: how mechanics, electronics, and control all work together, and how to make informed design decisions as projects scale in complexity.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design animatronics that move intentionally, hold up over time, and feel alive, giving you the skills and confidence to tackle ambitious, multi-part builds.
