C 3PO Ewok Story Sync Test 3:28:21

Progress on the animatronic C-3PO: The figure animation is built in Blender, joint angle data is exported to JSON, then my Python code reads/parses the data and velocity and acceleration parameters are manipulated in real-time to drive all 16 actuators to get the motion seen here. Still lots to do. This is still rough. Smoothing, compliance, and tweaking of ranges and positions are needed, but it's a good start.

Chris, you are amazing. You should do a video showing the behind the scenes of creating the code and the Threepio build! Love this
