Axtell "Hands-Free" Animatronic Puppets

We have been in development on some very exciting exclusive remote control puppets with robotics expert Ron Palmer using new proprietary technology. Here is what we are coming out with....


REMOTE CONTROL VENT PUPPETS
for Ventriloquists or those who want to provide their own live voice.

The vent style characters will be operated by a control (like you would beep your car doors with). On stage with you the puppet always looks alive automatically active "Auto-Alive" and slightly moving, watching your audience and your show. When you want to control him, just push one button to "look over at you" and the next to "move it's mouth"! Then when you are finished with this puppet speaking, return it to it's "Auto-Alive" state. You can now work with a puppet in your hands, and also with the tiny control hidden in your other hand, also control the remote puppet from a distance!



REMOTE CONTROL MAGIC PUPPETS

This is great for the non-vent, Magician, Puppeteer, Educator, Comedian.

This is controlled by a tiny remote. Each track in a playlist controls both the voice (and any music) ...and...the movements. In between the desired "active" programmed tracks, the puppet returns to an automatic animated state called "Auto-Alive" (looking around naturally, at you & your audience....never looking dead).

Ready for his next "active" program?....just secretly play the next track and the character starts in!

TOTAL CONTROL

This will be upgradeable to a headset microphone that will move the puppet's mouth when you speak by automatic voice activation called MotorMouth. No joystick needed for the mouth (but it's still an option). Also you can use a larger RC Transmitter (two hand unit with an antenna). You have live control over any other movements like head rotation, arms, etc. Nothing is animated in this mode.
