These are the structural components to the SEP servo rack. They are machined out from brass square tube and hold all of the servos, as well as tubing, in place.

Along with this mechanism are the actual ears. I am working on them them in parallel and will be putting them together soon. You can see images of them below; various positions are mocked up for the moment, which will eventually be used to create a flexable model to be animatronically controlled.

What is Secret Ear Project? It my personal project, aimed at creating animatronic ears, compact enough to wear the entire device on a hat. Watch my gallery for updates as I move along.
