Motorized wings are just such a cool project, that after my first set I had to make another one! :D Come and see how I made these animatronic wings all by myself - what issues I faced, and how did the final result turn out! Perhaps you'll build a set of your own? My inspiration for these was Pharah, from the video game Overwatch :)
