This was ground breaking at the time to have an animatronic pick up whatever it wanted at the time, but there was always a person controlling the specific movements off stage. This inspired the Mr. Potato Head animatronic at Disney
@@charlessmith3756 there is no one controlling him backs, everything is pre-programmed, the props a placed in a extremely specific position so that when he moves his hand to the side, it’s directly above the prop he’s supposed to pick up, you can see that in the instalation tape.
@@meliz67 there are no magnets, his left hand is made out of plastic instead of latex rubber like his face and right hand, the thumb is a separate piece on a hinge that acts like a claw to pick up the props.
