Cheshire Cat Animatronic
Project type
Animatronic for Escape Room
Date
2024 - 2025
Location
Austin, Tx
Role
Animatronics Team Lead
My final year at UT I lead a small team of engineering students in designing, building, and coding this Cheshire Cat animatronic entirely from scratch.
I taught them the ins and outs of how to use their engineering background for creative projects like this one. We brainstormed and designed the mechanisms together and had workshop days on everything from on building circuits to how to work with foam and fur.
Cheshire was built as a piece of a larger project. An Alice and Wonderland themed escape room built by TxTPED. If you would like to know more about this project please view our slide deck at:
