Mechanical Overview
Tom is an electric animatronic. He has five functions

  • Mouth open & close
  • Head tilt
  • Head turn
  • Torso fore-bend
  • Scepter left and right (secondary animation to his left arm)

This is achieved by three dynamixal servos and two ultramotion linear actuators (torso and scepter).
