Are there any good robot animatronics for Halloween? I want a wendigo to walk around my yard.

We have something close, but unfortunately not at the halloween decoration price point - https://www.satyress.com/

You could put a chainsaw in the front and get a robot Pochita! [0]

		Hmm, maybe a low-buoyancy floater is better? Helium and a quadcopter.

I'm looking at the "air reservoirs" in the chest and body that you can apparently fucking shoot or stab to force an E-stop.

They literally say you (could) shoot the thing as an actual emergency stop to brake all the actuators.

Wild.

		Otacon: To stop the unit, you have to access the control panel on its back and manually input the override code— Snake: No time! I'm gonna try shooting it. Otacon: That'll work too. I put that in as a failsafe.

I'm reminded of the fact that the Japanese built literal giant humanoid mechs for the purposes of... teleoperated train powerline repair: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/04/japan-...

Given the insane progression in the Home Depot Halloween displays I estimate it’s about two years off - twenty foot tall animatronic skeletons are now table stakes.
