  • Teddy Ruxpin was an endearing, yet creepy, robotic toy from the 1980's. After receiving a broken one, I decided to take it apart, upgrade it and make it live again! Now I can make it say whatever I want!!!! Almost....

    Thumbs up! I just saw your channel and fell in love with it. I love Tedy Ruxpin, he is my favorite. Obviously I just had to subscribe, its an honor to be part of your channel. God bless you for reviving Teddy Ruxpin.

    Wait, Teddy Ruxpin is not JUST for heavy metal tapes?

    @Angel_Bob_ 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I dunno why, but I for one find it so satisfying when I or others take old technology and upgrade the parts to make it work as good as or better than new. The new servo motors in this is what reminded me.

    Thank you :) I have my 80s teddy stored. Doesn't work anymore and thought it would be fun to get him to work again. I have one take left from my childhood :)

    "...make the Teddy Ruxpin do what you want". You're gonna have all variety of animated-toy protection agencies pounding down your door. Or, Paramount pictures will get wind of this and produce "Toy Of Frankenstein".

    When I tried to take our original one (1985) apart to work on, the brown plastic was very brittle. Yes, I was careful as I’ve “tinkered” on fixing other stuff all my life. Oh well. I could’nt have done the ardino and code thing anyway.

    this is actually a really cool project!

  • @mateuszkowalczyk3254
    @mateuszkowalczyk3254 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You can use PC or Rasberry Pi and a camera to track your face, and then send instructions for the servos. You could even add two side voice comminication.

    Well done. Looking forward to see how you are going to make it talk.

      I think amazon has put some limitations on that, you can't make it voice activated and you can do some features like music.

    • @Tinkernut
      @Tinkernut  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      there are some python libraries that bypass those limitations. search for alexapi on github

    @ahsukfagwwgbfakywgfkagwkfg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm probably going to sound like a noob saying this, but I wonder if there is a way to change how the mouth moves based upon the amplitude of sound going through. I'd imagine it would possibly make the mouth movements look more realistic.

      at chip.hackster.io/chip/c-h-i-p-py-ruxpin-5f02f1?ref=platform&ref_id=5276_trending___&offset=4 they used espeak to do just that.

    @dankmemes9594 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would do this on a Spiderman toy, and make it say spooderman quotes. Possibly even make it sing the spooderman theme song, and replace the head with spoodermans

  • @harrisonknockers2038
    @harrisonknockers2038 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Make Teddy Ruxpin say "If I slice of some of the skin on your cheekbone and fry it, I bet it tastes like pork rinds!...little Timmy." Sinister voice at the end of course.

    great idea to revive an old teddy, but you're a monster if you use it for unintended purposes other than what it was made to do.

    I was watching this trying to figure out how to animate some dolls I'm trying to make for a huge project next year so I just looked at the very toy that started it all for me mr. Theodore Ruxpin when you add the Alexa devices can you also customize their voices as well just wondering?

    @shiburin3114 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You know when he means he will make it say whatever he wants? Well it won't be in the real "ruxpin" voice. The original voice was prerecorded. So don't get your hopes up. Of course, I may be wrong but who knows

    For once I will do a serious comment:
    I would butcher an amazon echo dot, combine it with the arduino, add a good speaker, stick it all into the bear, and say "alexa play my Wu-Tang Clan playlist".
    Because WU-TANG-CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F### WITH.
