Building a Remote Controlled Tricycle-Riding Puppet
I’ve published an Instructables guide showing how I made this remote controlled tricycle-riding puppet.
It was such a fun project that I’m already hard at work on an updated version and a more manageable project guide. The bill of materials alone is simply ridiculous. It’s what happens when you’re prototying and just ordering random bits and grabbing things out of your stash of whatever boards you have on hand.
But until the next version is finished, I hope this guide can offer some inspiration.
