Edgar VanRaven, a DIY Animatronic Raven kit by Jasper Anderson

Quick video showing my build of the Raven by Jasper.
I will be decorating the perch to look more natural, adding additional lighting.
In the future, he will have a monolog rather than just cawing. This programming is a last minute change as I ran out of time to do the show I wanted.
A nice intro on his page:

Oh man, you nailed it! Great job on the build and also the programming!

Very cool Eric! I recently got myself a Squawkers McCaw that I’m going to add to my dark ride. I love the realistic movement you get from this one though... Very cool! The light up eyes are a cool, creepy touch as well!

I just subed in the last 30 min and a new video comes out. Amazing!
Great channel by the way!

[conrad]

That looks amazing! Working on mine now.

Sounds great, to me that makes a big difference.

[Sandcem]

That is really neat. Can't wait to see how you modify this.

[AnimationGoneWrong]

VERY cool build! I had been thinking about adding something like this to our Pirate haunt... but we may be shutting down, so not sure if I'll get one or not. Great motion on him!

[GothGuy]

are you going to show us how to build this awesome animatronic soon?

[Astrobiologica]

Did you go with the pololu board or arduino ? or RC

[Rtten_Dgz_of_justice]

How much money was this? (Not to be rude <3) I might wanna try to make something like this ^^
