[WolfGirlAmaya]

That is a great system you've got there very natural movement!

[cold197]

yeah i think it's definitely k'nex he said in another video that he'd made a moving ears prototype (if that's even what you call it) with them

cool! =)

[hunniRAWR]

xD ir looks like one of those like snake whisles that you get when your little that move like a snake but its quite amazing :D well done !!

[saffyre00]

*jealous*



[kayleighchipmunk]

is that K'Nex?

[NeoNekoPup]

how the fuck did u do that!? THATS BEASTY!

[ChocolateChipmunks]

@kawaiipie4 I KNOW you look like a shriveled 15 year old onion!

[loucowboy617]

you loser

[zerghellion]

Pretty rad! Is it pretty easy to learn to use the Knex animatronics?

[WizardGir]

@zerghellion technically there are no 'animatronics'. No servos or motors were used. Each hinge simply tensioned by using enough rubber bands to counter-balance the weight of the segment.

[braedenb12]

what's that thing on the shelf made out of k'nex???????

[WizardGir]

@braedenb12 its one of the first K'netic sculptures I did. (get it?...) The only video of it can be seen in the "k'nex Kenetic Wave Sculpture" vid on my channel.

[u78n]

HOW DO U MAKE THAT?

[WizardGir]

@u78n There's a Tutorial for it out of k'nex on the same Channel. Final version is still not compleet...

[Vailwolf]

That's awesome, looks real

[ChocolateChipmunks]

I'm not it'ws ust an old man who is doimng that? SCARY!

[astralrose8106]

WOW that's amazing! Ive been looking at some mechanical tails and by far this is the best one! but how would you be able to control how it moves? ^_^; i kinda saw how it knocked into the doorframe lol..... But anyways Great Job!

[thestolenvoice123]

that's hilarious!

[ChocolateChipmunks]

Your creepy, a grown man making kitty neko stuff??? Creepy.

[victoriapschen]

@ChocolateChipmunks Whats creepier is that you appear to be surprised about it... you have yet to see the rest of the world my friend.

[BalthezarArith]

@victoriapschen thanks, and

@ChocolateChipmunks if adults didn't build neko stuff, you'd never get stuff this cool.

[twilightmarauder]

...Holy hell, this is just what I neeed D:

That is WICKED!

[BalthezarArith]

@madwebkinzgirl looks and smells like them too.

[DottorAlice]

@BalthezarArith what if you break it and it is in the fur already

? D:

[WizardGir]

@DottorAlice I would never fur this design as it is too flimsy as it is without the weight, but even if I furred a final tail, it could be removed either by spliting a velcro seam on the bottom, or just by sliding it off as a sewn tube.

[smileydeven2236]

wish i could make something like that for my tail

[Kramit48]

Nice concept. Now all you have to do is remake it in a stronger material so it can hold the whole tail's weight! Keep it up! :D

[AuroraKatn]

I've got a question, is those K'nex 7+ or 9+ ? :)

[mustbe18]

very nice.

idk if you saw my older videos, but i dabled in k'nex tails. they ended up not being as strong as i needed, as you yourself said, and i moved onto more ridget parts.

i do suggest, that if your going to stick with k'nex is that you find a very powerful plastic epoxy and glue it at all the connection points(the snap spots, not the bending joints)

it should make it much much stronger.

just my 2 cents : 3

[SenseiStrange]

sweet

[DGenthe]

thats actually pretty great. if you got it worked just right with the right materials...a sweet costume with your power-risers would be fantastic.
