Sneak Peak at 2009 3 axis skull design from graveyardskulls

Post by HalloweenHaunterBob » Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:54 pm

Here is a short video of the "Proof Of Concept" prototype I made for the new 3 axis skull design. We had to wait until the patent search was done and the patent process had begun before releasing any details on this.

The way the motion is set up here, none of the servos fight each other, so there is no problem with 'binding up' when combining certian motions.

The problem of the rotate tab coming loose is also addressed here as well as the possibility of rotating too far in either direction.

Please look for the release of this and more information on graveyardskulls.com in the coming months.

Remember that this is just the prototype. Improvements have already been made, and the final version will look a bit different, but the concept is the same.

Here are some pics:

That looks very neat so how big are the skulls you will be using? What I was planning to do was buy me a 6ft tall grim reaper so the kids could walk under to my haunted cemetery. Which I hope to really improve this year. Plus with halloween town USA not to far from my city, no stupid election. It should be one fun halloween. Heck I might put up a few for Min halloween this Feb. and March 13th. :)

These fit into standard skulls.

We use the Bucky skull, the Lindberg Pirate Skull, and our own version that we had molded for our own use.

All are roughly life-sized skulls.

I don't know how to do the camera thing either. One of my friends told me he would show me how to do it. I wanted to put some costume pictures up, look for them soon.
