Head movement on two planes

[My Bear]

Just planning the final mod for the Robonova, when the kit arrives, and this might sound a very basic question, but is there a servo in the build kit which controls head movement?

What I need to achieve is head movement on two planes, horizontal and vertical, quite snappy at times, I presume a couple of servos in an arrangement is the way to go?

Has anyone created this as yet?

The Robonova is going to be placed inside of a puppet, with a much larger head, on a framework, so bulkiness is not a problem.

Cheers

You need to search around for the term "Pan and Tilt".

Have fun

One of my old RN's, Thor, had a head with this feature - it was a lot of fun. I had to add both servos - one placed between the shoulders and of course another on top, as seen on the picture.



Not too tricky to assemble, and the brackets can be made by hand if you don't want to buy them (especially if you aren't worried about little rough looks under a puppet head). Anyway, best of luck.

Looks cool and exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks for the pictures.

I also run into something, I have recently published some pictures, the assembly of servos, the robot moves to the head.
