Making a robotic Dalek

http://www.stephenhobley.com/blog/daleks/

Dalek dome animation, putting it all together...

2 Xbee modules provide high speed wireless communication between my laptop and the dome.

An Arduino receives the instructions and passes them to a servo (eye blink), a Sabertooth motor controller (dome rotate / eye elevate), or a optoisolator/TIP142 darlington array to switch the low voltage lighting in the 'ears'.

The whole thing is controlled from a simple application written in C#.

@shobley Just remember, mutating real humans into insane blob-like murderous Space-Nazi's is illegal. Just so you know. :]
