There are also a number of different engineering approaches to creating an Animatronic character, depending upon preferences, available maintenance support at the site, and your budget. Typically Animatronic characters perform in a fixed position on a stage and deliver a pre-programmed speech or presentation, controlled by a computer and power source located under the stage or in a nearby room. While Animatronic systems typically operate from air or hydraulic power sources, this unit was unique in that it was entirely controlled by electric motors. This piano-playing unit was synchronized to music and entertained patrons in some of the more upscale McDonald's restaurants. This unique electric system was conceived to work as a fully programmed or live interaction musical entertainer.
Entire orchestras are possible.
