Thanks for watching! For anyone new here my show has had quite a few upgrades since this video. Most of the mechanics have had a ton of rebuilding and adjusting (to keep things more reliable) and the show overall runs with very little issues. Some other cosmetic changes include some minor new clothes on the characters, some changes on the backdrop, and a few minor “polishing” to keep things looking a bit more finished. I have also redone Monty’s mouth mech (as you can see in this video: czcams.com/users/shorts01a8Y0Jo80Q?feature=share I have also furred carls snout so it doesn’t look all boxy anymore and you can see that here: czcams.com/users/shortsYADtYHoFsPQ?feature=share And most importantly, I am now running my show automatically by using an Arduino, relays, and Vixen lights controlling software.

Cec stages was pretty popular and started the RC car method and everyone used that because it was so simple. Even my stuff used it till I finally re-did it everything.
I agree. Motors are usually pretty unrealistic and make the figures look robotic. Pneumatics have this natural spring which makes them almost seem more lively than the hydraulic figures at the major theme parks which often seem way too smooth.
You need to get the pico boo mp3 you can program and add audio on your computer and shows go on a as card but you’ll need a lot of those for each show there’s menu music and then when you hit play it plays the show
Great job. I see you have the flow controls now. I sew you live show and I was going to tell you that you need to decree the airflow that was why you were having trouble. because your animatronics are made out of cardboard and thin plastic parts the hi parser was wearing them down.sorry I did not get back to you sooner on that. You are on the right track /your airflow on the mouths and stum arm needs to be a little lass /and then your moon will go up better and you won't get ware and tear on your animatronics parts. This way they won't break down as much. They will be going strong. good luck and I can not wait for your next show. RG Jubilee.

Quick question. Do you manually operate the shows? Or do you have anything that programs the shows? Also I would love to see an actual full animatronic of all of these guys!
@@S.J.C._Entertainment Kinda like the kinds of the rock afire explosion. Arm movements, rotations, neck movement, ect. I know you aren’t doing many upgrades currently, but this seems like a goal that you may be striving for
@@heftyjerm2104 as cool as that would be, that would be WAY out my my budget. While I do plan on adding some new movements sooner then later it’ll never be anywhere near Rockafire standards.
I have a pneumatic bird animatronic I want to program to the picoBoo FI-104 Can you hook up a valve bank to this? How many movements can you program? How long can you record sound with animation, I have a 4 min song that I need 4 mins of animation to? If this is not cable to program a pneumatic bird animatronic too, then can you give me other advice. resources?
@@S.J.C._Entertainment it is a prop controller that records audio and movements to program pneumatic animatronics. since you don't know what picaboo is, what do you use to program your animatronics?
@@S.J.C._Entertainment I don't really know much about Arduino circuit board, and Vixen lights software. Do you have to solder wires to these boards, do you plug in air valves in the boards? Is the vixen light software free?
Hello,my 16 year old son, who has autism, daw this and wants one. Do you have parts and instructions on how to build one of these, please. I am no Bob Villa or Norm Abrams, but I will try to build one for him. Thanks!
@@b.w.vanalstyne7197 I guess I should also ask if your planning on programming anything, do you plan on having this all be fully automatic or just where you press the valve buttons to make things move (like what I’m doing in the video) if you doing something simpler I’d recommend doing that since It’s a lot cheaper and easier
@S.J.C._Entertainment I think I'd like to see both plans. Something that is fully automated sounds like sommat my son would like. Kind of like Chuck e Cheese.
@@b.w.vanalstyne7197 gotcha. you will need the following: (all of which will be available on Amazon lol) An air compressor, not sure which exact size/brand you’d need since it’s up to you how many movements it’ll have. Air cylinders, again, up to you about which size/quantity you’d need, but I’ve gotten a good variety of sizes and they all work great. Air hosing, most cylinders I’ve come across use 6mm hosing size but be sure to double check the size when you buy cylinders. Solenoid valve bank, this is the “button thing” you see in the video, it essentially just opens and closes a valve causing air to flow to the cylinders. Flow controls/restrictors These are little plastic knobs that you snap onto the air hosing, these will allow you to restrict airflow to the cylinders allowing a smoother motion without needing to turn the psi of the compressor down. These are technically optional but it’ll generally allow things to look better when operating and increase the longevity of the cylinders and mechanical parts. There may also be additional fittings you may need but a good majority will come with their assigned parts. But in case you do need more they will always be available on Amazon So that’s about it in terms of the mechanical stuff, If you have all this, your character should be in a perfectly working state. Now as you mentioned you’d like it to have it perform like a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic so this’ll be all the stuff you need to have it become fully automated. A computer, you could use pretty much any sort of laptop or Pc as long as it has a USB port. I’ve seen people run these with computers from 2003 so even if you don’t currently have one you could easily find an older one for a decent price. Along with the computer you’ll need a programming software, I personally use vixen lights since it’s free. I’ve been using it for nearly a year and I will admit that it is a bit tedious, but it’s generally pretty easy once you understand it. A Arduino uno board. There’s a few other types of arduinos that you can use but I personally use an uno so I can confirm that that particular one works great. A relay module. Be sure to find one with a subtable amount of channels for your character (I personally use an 8 channel one) Jumper wires. Simple, cheap, little wires that click together with no need for soldering. And finally a power cable with jumper wire attachment. MAKE SURE that you get one with the same voltage as your valve bank, if you have 24 volt valves with a 12 volt power supply it won’t work. So make sure all your valve banks use the same voltage. And then finally their the bare bones mechanical parts you’ll need. Now this is completely up to you, so if you want a wooden frame you’d need to buy parts subtable for a wood frame, same goes for metal, etc. I know this sounds like a lot, but I did this all at a pretty young age on a very limited budget. So as long as your willing to put a bit of time and money into it you should be able to make something cool. And of course if you need any pointers or extra info don’t hesitate to ask me, I would also recommend watching a few videos on how to set some specific parts up just to be safe, but some things will certainly be easier then others. Sorry for the very long comment lol Best of luck :)

Looking smooth with those flow controls!
Man, the pneumatics sure make the animatronics like Simon and Carl more advanced from when you used to use rc cars
I agree. Motors are usually pretty unrealistic and make the figures look robotic. Pneumatics have this natural spring which makes them almost seem more lively than the hydraulic figures at the major theme parks which often seem way too smooth.
Bro thinking making a tiny robot will impress us. And it did impress us. This is the most amazing animatronic I’ve ever seen you did a wonderful job.
