Project 3 - Uncanny (Day 1)

On this day I went through on looking some of the videos on how they did the tentacle arms. What I saw is some wires sticking with the circle bearing which holds the wires down. Some controls it with a servo consecutive to the arduino.


Some of it was also controlled by motors



I prefer doing the motor controlled one since it has more stability and it has more control to it. The motor is pulling up and down the 4 pulley which makes the tail looks like real. The motor also has more  torque and power rather than a servo. 

In this video, if you would look on the description he said about the servo not having enough power to move the tongue of the creature. It's effective but not smooth enough.
