A maker named Kiara built a life-size animatronic version of Goddard, the robot dog from the animated show Jimmy Neutron. The build started with 3D model files ripped from a GameCube game, which were then 3D printed at life size, prepped, and painted in chrome and purple. A real plasma ball was used for the brain, linear actuators power the legs, and the head is controlled via fishing line and servos — similar to professional animatronic techniques.
