Finally got my EZB in the mail. Put together a quick video to show off the functionality of my project. Keep in mind this is the very very beginning. I will soon be adding a video camera to enable motion/facial tracking. I will keep updating as I make progress. This is the first "robot" I've ever built. The EZB and the ARC software really made this simple.

Those are great ideas. These are part of a larger animated scene. I trigger an mp3 and the skull moves and talks and the crows eyes flicker. I also have an antique radio whose dial will move and light up. I will post a video shortly.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
Here is the decorated skull.
Here is a video. Unfortunately, its being driven by a Polulu maestro servo controller and VSA's demo software for now. I didn't want to risk burning out any more servo's. Once the automation abilities are within ARC (no hurry!
) I will use the EZB.
You'll notice it has no tilt capabilities, since I moved that servo to the jaw for the time being, while I await replacements.
No way dude, creepy as hell eek

Here is an antique radio I found. Although you can't see it, the dial is illuminated by LED's. The dial is driven by a micro servo. This one is controlled by the EZB and ARC!
In the scene, the radio will have a speaker in it that warns viewers of an escaped patient from the local lunatic asylum.
Not sure why the first video didn't work.
Cjmekeel, I was reading along then I saw this half rotten skull with eyes and literately said "Holy $#*%!!"
