This is the assembled structure for the servo box. The guide tubing is not cut to length yet, and there are wires running everywhere, but it gives you an idea of what the internal layout is. Getting the bend radius on the tubing was a huge pain in the ass.

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.
