Animatronics

[TOTStarfield]

Because it seems everyone know everything about Disney, and don't ask anymore questions, I racked my brain for one and this is what I cam up with:

What sort of Animatronic is the Yeti @ EE
Is he the same or more advanced than the Wicked Witch @ GMR
What does that make Buzz Lightyear @ BLSRS
Stitch?
Donald's behind (Mickey's philharmagic)

The Yeti is a very large but basic model - the publicity comes from the size and weight of the model, and the size of the swiping arm. The arm is actually a separate part to the rest of the body mechanically, and the swinging weight is what causes most trouble (at the present time the foundation is cracked)

She is less advanced than the Witch at GMR - the Wicked Witch was the first A-100 animatronic, introduced in 1989. This kind of figure has more realistic movement, and when one limb starts or stops moving the others compensate fot this - a technique called compliance. Before this, the whole body would rock if such a sudden movement was made. Both Buzz and Stitch are A-100s. The former was a first in having a projected face as opposed to a solid face, the latter due to its size. Donald is a plain old school-type AA; nothing more complex was needed.

So what you are saying is that the foundation for the yeti in EE is already cracked. Is the foundation the yeti is on or it is inside the yeti itself. If possible can you explain this more in detail please.
