Animatronic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
This E.T. was created specifically for Halloween 2019.
E.T. is sculpted out of foam, layered with liquid latex, spray paint, and acrylic paint. His hand is made up of galvanized wire, plastic tubing, and gauze, and his body is made from twisted galvanized wire, and gauze. The base and neck are made from PVC pipe. He has a 180 degree standard servo (running off of a 5v rechargeable battery pack) that allows his head to move back and forth, and Adafruit Neopixels allow his finger and heart to light up. All of this is controlled by a programmed Arduino Uno, also running off of a 5v rechargeable battery.
