to research contacts that could help us with our design issues and started to reach out to those professionals. \u00a0We determined that rather than use new technology or try something novel, we wanted to create an animatronic that is robust and uses methods\/ hardware that is practiced in the industry. \u00a0Given this, we found outside expertise is vital to our project and creating an animatronic with as little maintenance as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
