In the first phone call of the series, Phone Guy says they walk around at night to “prevent their *servos* from locking up”. So they’re not pneumatic, they use electric servos. Which makes sense considering it’d be much easier for the animatronics to be carrying around batteries rather than walking heavy and loud air compressors inside them.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that! I’ll be honest, I didn’t really consider servo motors because they’re generally WAY more expensive than other types of electric motors or pneumatics, and are also completely unnecessary. The main advantage of a servo motor is it’s super high precision, but when you’re goal is to make a rabbit vaguely look like it’s playing a guitar, that’s not really something you need… Also, I know it’s just some company bs to try to explain why the animatronics are roaming around trying to kill you, but Servo motors locking up after not being used for a night isn’t a thing. If you’re gonna come up with an excuse, Fazbear, at least make it believable!
@@TheChiptide While Fazbear Enterteinment is cheap as heck, William and Henry, the founders, acually seem to have a lot of passion fore there craft. So I think the acual Animatronics are the ONLY thing the company isnt cheapening on. Maybe BECAUSE the Animatronics are so expansife, they cut corners ewrywhere else
the movie revealed that the Og four animatronics are all electric, more resembling modern disney animatronics. they're also Free Roams, which was the company's whole gimmick, meaning the company sacrificed fidelity for mobility. "where fantasy and fun come to life" isn't just a slogan, after all.
The Week Before interactive novel suggests the FNAF 1 animatronics are electrical to some degree. There’s mention of the animatronics using charge pads. It’s probably why power is so restricted at night, lol
8:02 counterpoint: the doors counterpoint: springlock suits as much as they like to cut costs, there have been instances of them pouring resources into ridiculous, likely expensive ideas
So, turns out I totally forgot that in FNAF 1 the phone guy tells you that the animatronics have to roam around to "stop their Servo Motors from locking up", which would imply that the animatronics are indeed electric. I'm gonna chock this one up to just some bs made up by Fazbear to try to explain why their animatronics roam around at night murdering their employees, though, for a couple of reasons. 1. Servo motors tend to be VERY expensive compared to pneumatics or other types of electric motors that accomplish the exact same function. From a business perspective, it's a bad move! 2. The main benefit of a servo motor is it's high level of precision. These are traditionally rotational motors that are capable of rotating something within a fraction of a degree. This can be helpful in applications where high-levels of accuracy is required (medical equipment, aircraft components, or actual robots). However, when your goal is to make a rabbit vaguely look like it's playing the guitar, that level of precision is completely overkill, and in fact, might make it look unrealistic and stiff! 3. While a servo motor can "lock up", this doesn't happen from lack of use. It's usually because something in the motor itself is broken, or you've put too much weight on it and it's not powerful enough to lift it. In fact, letting these motors run all night will probably just shorten their life-span! If you're gonna make up an excuse, Fazbear, at least make it believable! 4. Scott isn't a robotic engineer so I won't hold it too much against him, but if you look at the design for the early endos you can't see any servo motors (or any motors at all, for that matter), just some ball-and-socket joins that move based on I guess magic? Again, I get it's just a character design, but if you want to get technical, there ain't no servos!
Have you heard of servo-pneumatic systems? Moreover, without the flow controls in between to buffer the pressure from the valves to the cylinders you’ll get the herky-jerky movements of the Cyberamics from CEC, slamming the aluminum components and damaging them. Luckily, CEI manufactured Showbiz’s animatronics with flow controls in between the valve and the cylinder to give the characters more subtle movements. To give another point in the accuracy of the SL endos, all the gas tanks put all over the bunker and “gas leak” can refer to the compressed air that would go into the SL animatronics’ tubed endos. Lastly, I remember hearing from somewhere, perhaps SPTProductions now animatronicswarehouse, that a really early technique Creative Engineering Inc (CEI) used when building their animatronics was to build all the internal mechanisms onto the fiberglass shell itself, which could also play into how hollow the FNAF animatronics are so that a child could fit inside. Aside from that, great theory video overall! I like it when FNAF and irl animatronic fandoms communicate with each other!
also sister location is one of the earliest Freddy locations in the lore like it was open before fnaf 2. i think the game itself takes place after fnaf 2 but the location is mentioned in fnaf 2. so its robots being out dated whistle being touted as advanced makes total sense. it also explains why fnaf 1 animatronics are the least bulky under the character suits. its because they were able to downsize most of the parts.
I always interpreted fazbear to be a company that puts all its money when making a location and cutting corners afterwords, also they could be reusing motors and stuff too
not could be, are! the toy animatronics were made out of parts from the withered animatronics, and parts from the toy animatronics were used to create the classic animatronics!
Really good video as usual! Also, to kind of add to it, FNAF The Week Before does confirm that the FNAF 1 animatronics are electronically powered with an internal battery and a charging station so they can interact with guests, hence why they're able to move around at night. So they probably use electric motors instead of pneumatic actuators, as you mentioned.
I still think it's so cool that Scott took the time to model full skeletons for his characters even though you barely see them and they aren't the most practical.
Chuck E Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre actualy used servo motors for a few animatronics in 1983, it was the "Family Album" cabaret band, they were build by Elnicky Enterprises for PTT and were only temporally installed at 6 locations as a test, but weren't very popular and they broke down often. The animatronics built for the movie also use servo motors (tho not very strong ones as both Foxy and Bonnie's arm servos overheated and burned multiple times, which is probably why tthe costumes were used more often in the film).
Yeah, there's actually A LOT of instances where animatronics from FNAF 1 have been all but outright confirmed to be fully electric. In The Week Before, they say the animatronics have charging pads on their stages, explaining why they go back to the stage at 6, in FNAF VR Parts & Service, you can see and hear the animatronics sparking very often, and in the movie Bonnie apparently uses so much electricity that it's able to conduct through his guitar strings. And you might say the FNAF 1 animatronics being fully electric in the early-90s-2000s is unrealistic - this is the universe where an AI became self-aware in the 70s. And even disregarding The Mimic, this is the franchise where an animatronic had the bite strength to cave in a kid's skull in the early-80s, animatronics were able to free-roam as early as 1987 at the least, and the Mediocre Melodies are shown to have external batteries in FNAF 6, and the Mediocre Melodies are theorized to come from as early as the 70s. I rest my case. PS: the FNAF 1 gang are said to have fiberglass shells in Into the Pit, not foam.
Maybe fazbear Ent. Care more about the animatronics since they are their brand. They only cut costs when it comes to the safety of the restaursnt. They heavily rely on their animatronics.
It makes sense to take the cheapest option when talking about Fazbear entertainment. However i got wondering, If the animatronics were the only non cheap things they did, fully steel and fully electrical. Would that change their strength and danger? Or would the difference be neglectable? What would it take for the classic animatronics to be as dangerous as we think they should be?
Using steel instead of aluminum would definitely make them a lot heavier, so you couldn't man handle them that easily. As for electric, it depends. If you really wanted you could get an electric motor that's incredibly strong, but there's really no reason to. Electric isn't necessarily any stronger or weaker than pneumatics, they both come in many different power levels, the main difference is the form factor. And on the bright side, if the whole thing was electric, just throw a glass of water on it, you'll probably mess something up!
I think it's pretty much confirmed by now that Fnaf animatronics are basically just robots that are powered by electricity (the movie stated that these guys have some kind of batteries inside them). They're not exactly just metal puppets like actual animatronics. They can walk, do some advanced crap and also think in a way. Even the springlock suits have AI (as stated by Phone Guy in Fnaf 3). So I wouldn't compare them to Chucky Cheese animatronics but rather robots
I sort of did that in a much older video, and let me tell you, even compared to robots of today, these things are WILD! If William wasn’t dumb, he could have been a very rich man
@TheChiptide I mean, William has a big robotics company with an underground facility. I think he is a rich man but his ambitions are not exactly about getting rich. He's a maniac that treats his work as an act of creation and personal satisfaction rather then business. We saw several times that he was ready to destroy his business for his f**ked up reasons. It's not that he's dumb it's more about him being to say the least misguided. That would also explain an unsafe nature of springlock suits. William and Henry were just making "art". And William treats his actions as art. Both him and Henry artists first and foremost. And he, as evident by novels, desires to surpass Henry in every way possible. He has a very big inferiority issues and is obsessed with "being better". He's not doing business for the sake of doing business. He's doing it for the sake of being better and proving his superiority. By being evil. Although one could say that being evil is inherently dumb and that would be fair. Keep making good content, mate!
The animatronics from the first game were following the design philosophy of Henry, who's style of animatronics were electronic. They were likely designed to be lightweight and electronic to get the free roaming nature, which was what made his design special. There's also direct evidence for his designs being electronic as in fnaf 6 some of the animatronics you can buy have external batteries they are clearly wired to. The sister location animatronics are so different because they were not designed by Henry.
FNAF: "Before you can react, Chica raises her foot and stomps on your head. Your skull cracks open like an egg." (That's literally an excerpt from The Week Before) Richard: "Yeah, it'll probably feel like being smacked with a pillow."
Everyone else has already mentioned the servos thing, so I'll just butt in with a why that makes that choice a tad more cost-effective. Everyone knows ghosts have some semblance of electric current to them. It's why they can do things like screw with video cameras and electric lights (as seen in FNAF 1 and 2). Fazbear Entertainment doesn't have to worry about the power cost for the actual animatronics, cuz the ghosts provide that electricity for free. I don't know for sure, but this could make the electric servos actually MORE cost-effective than they normally would be.
The only thing more concerning about the Funtimes besides the faceplates is the fact that they are over 7 ft tall. It's like if a Teletubbie stood next to you 😨
Tell me if I'm wrong, but to defeat the animatronics in FNAF 1 if they were indeed powered by pneumatics, you'd just have to vacuum chamber the restaurant. They'll be like "OH, THERE'S NO AIR." and stop working.
13:53 I've never seen that meme about how every guy has an animal they can take in a fight - BUT IT'S 100% TRUE! I COULD EASILY TAKE A SINGLE COYOTE IN FIGHT! WATCH ME!
Great video! notes from a lore nerd: The animatronics are 100% electric, the classic animatronics have batteries within them and charging pads on their stage. the mediocre melodies [who also use endo-01] have external batteries that must be plugged in and charged for them to function As other comments have stated, the animatronics do use servos, not pneumatics Henry and William are both incredibly passionate about their craft as engineers, they would absolutley put in the extra time and expenses for A-grade materials the first series of animatronics [Withered animatronics from 2] have their pieces re-used for the toy animatronics, who are then re-re-used when making the classic animatronics in the first game - doesnt matter if its expensive if youre gonna use it throughout the entire life of your brand! its a good thing that they never hit or punch, then! animatronics that use their hands to attack are almost always ones with an exposed endo or a plastic/metal shell! such as foxy or withered bonnie! they absolutley just have cartoonishly powerful bite-force, which is definitely what they use to kill in most circumstances
So my explanation for why the endos is so bear is that they do say that there are parts in the suit as well as the animatronic, I don’t think it would be particularly practical to have it work like that but it’s the best explanation I can think of for how they moved before being possessed (after they were possessed I think it was mostly the ghost because let’s be honest those things should’ve stopped working a loooongg time ago)
Just like how you guess fnaf might be in a mall; you are indeed right the fnaf animatronics are electric! In the fnaf movie and the week before book it is revealed that the animatronics run on a rechargeable battery. They can recharge when they go back on stage. Just like springlocks, Fazbear Entertainment dumps an unfathomable amount of money for knockoff Showbiz robots.
I'm pretty sure the animatronics are electric based, and not pneumatic in nature. As the Phone Guy / Ralph even says they were "allowed to walk around during the day...", a robot made from electronics and motors can do that easier, while a pneumatic system would struggle to carry around all required equipment such as air compressor and such in a humanoid form without serious scale issues. So pretty sure Endo 01 and Endo 02 are all electric. And since electric motors/servos are stronger, that means Freddy and the gang would also be stronger. Not sure to what degree though, could be human strength, could be greater. I also like to think that the FNaF universe, they are a few decades ahead in robotic technology then we are in real life, thus explaining how they can have designed walking robots -- essentially what the animatorinics are. As for the Funtime Endos, I'm not sure. They could be built using muscle wire - a wire when you run current through retracts in length, like real human muscles, but then again, they could also be motorized fancily somehow. The Funtimes are definitely more game logic than real world logic. But also going with the Funtimes were designed to go off stage to be rented out for parties, they are most likely also all electric, and not pneumatic based. Which could also be why an electric shock causes them pain, as it messes with their electronic systems/causing them to shake. Overall, I love your comparison to real world tech of the 80's to FNaF, but I don't think it's a fair comparison to advanced robotics of FNaF to pneumatic systems of real world animatronics.
The only things fazbear didn't cut corners on- until it came to cleaning them :V. The movie and new book says they run on batteries and charging, ITP says they're padded and not so hollow, and baby's claw isn't doing much of it bends that easy :V. Certainly wouldn't need those security doors
The backrooms is real, if you bang your head really hard while thinking of the backrooms you get teleported to it, the bad part is that when you escape you wake up in a hospital and they say you've been in a coma for a decade.
ah yes finally my two autistic interests, animatronics and fnaf 2:45 also they are technically called the mech, but I understand why you didn’t bring a new term in, it might be confusing for fnaf fans that know little about animatronics
The Week Before Interactive Model states that they kept going back to the stage to get more power. So I believe they would sue electric motors. The FNaF Movie even says this, claiming that the batteries are located in their feet.
I always thought “ani” in animatronic was animal, not animated since a lot of the mascots tend to be animals… guess it makes more sense than what i thought it was Edit: Also i feel like a reason the endoskeletons look so skinny is because Scott isn’t an engineer. He probably didn’t put a lot of thought into how the endos are meant to look
In the first phone call of the series, Phone Guy says they walk around at night to “prevent their *servos* from locking up”. So they’re not pneumatic, they use electric servos.

I know the phone guy describes the suits (ex-endoskeleton) as "being filled with crossbeams, wires, and other animatronic devices"

Newest book at the time of writing talks about them having “charging pads”
Another point to them being electric on top of the servo talk
I still think it's so cool that Scott took the time to model full skeletons for his characters even though you barely see them and they aren't the most practical.
Chuck E Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre actualy used servo motors for a few animatronics in 1983, it was the "Family Album" cabaret band, they were build by Elnicky Enterprises for PTT and were only temporally installed at 6 locations as a test, but weren't very popular and they broke down often.
The animatronics built for the movie also use servo motors (tho not very strong ones as both Foxy and Bonnie's arm servos overheated and burned multiple times, which is probably why tthe costumes were used more often in the film).
The week before confirmed they have charging pads
fazbear's investments remain an enigma to all.
in my point of view, the funtimes endoskeletons work like muscles, the "tubes" extend and contract just like muscles working their movements.
Yeah, there's actually A LOT of instances where animatronics from FNAF 1 have been all but outright confirmed to be fully electric. In The Week Before, they say the animatronics have charging pads on their stages, explaining why they go back to the stage at 6, in FNAF VR Parts & Service, you can see and hear the animatronics sparking very often, and in the movie Bonnie apparently uses so much electricity that it's able to conduct through his guitar strings.

As other comments have stated, the animatronics do use servos, not pneumatics
Henry and William are both incredibly passionate about their craft as engineers, they would absolutley put in the extra time and expenses for A-grade materials
the first series of animatronics [Withered animatronics from 2] have their pieces re-used for the toy animatronics, who are then re-re-used when making the classic animatronics in the first game - doesnt matter if its expensive if youre gonna use it throughout the entire life of your brand!
its a good thing that they never hit or punch, then! animatronics that use their hands to attack are almost always ones with an exposed endo or a plastic/metal shell! such as foxy or withered bonnie! they absolutley just have cartoonishly powerful bite-force, which is definitely what they use to kill in most circumstances
(Not to mention that the fnaf animatronics are full of ghosts of dead kids)
So my explanation for why the endos is so bear is that they do say that there are parts in the suit as well as the animatronic, I don’t think it would be particularly practical to have it work like that but it’s the best explanation I can think of for how they moved before being possessed (after they were possessed I think it was mostly the ghost because let’s be honest those things should’ve stopped working a loooongg time ago)

In the fnaf movie and the week before book it is revealed that the animatronics run on a rechargeable battery. They can recharge when they go back on stage. Just like springlocks, Fazbear Entertainment dumps an unfathomable amount of money for knockoff Showbiz robots.
some of the fnaf animatronics look more like michael bay's transformers than actual audio animatronic entertainers
All FNaF animatronics were powered by electrical servo motors which are inside the endoskeleton
Except if hw is anything to go by the endo is the whole thing. Lots of empty room inside of Freddy when ya open him in the repair mini game
Yay a chiptide video 🍟
Real life: chunky Endo
FNaF: GAME LOGIC
FNaF SL: Nah I'm going realism
I'm pretty sure the animatronics are electric based, and not pneumatic in nature.
As the Phone Guy / Ralph even says they were "allowed to walk around during the day...", a robot made from electronics and motors can do that easier, while a pneumatic system would struggle to carry around all required equipment such as air compressor and such in a humanoid form without serious scale issues.
So pretty sure Endo 01 and Endo 02 are all electric. And since electric motors/servos are stronger, that means Freddy and the gang would also be stronger. Not sure to what degree though, could be human strength, could be greater.
I also like to think that the FNaF universe, they are a few decades ahead in robotic technology then we are in real life, thus explaining how they can have designed walking robots -- essentially what the animatorinics are.
As for the Funtime Endos, I'm not sure. They could be built using muscle wire - a wire when you run current through retracts in length, like real human muscles, but then again, they could also be motorized fancily somehow. The Funtimes are definitely more game logic than real world logic. But also going with the Funtimes were designed to go off stage to be rented out for parties, they are most likely also all electric, and not pneumatic based. Which could also be why an electric shock causes them pain, as it messes with their electronic systems/causing them to shake.
Overall, I love your comparison to real world tech of the 80's to FNaF, but I don't think it's a fair comparison to advanced robotics of FNaF to pneumatic systems of real world animatronics.
Nov 1st is so close to Oct 31st that there’s no problem at all! It just means more Halloween!
The only things fazbear didn't cut corners on- until it came to cleaning them :V. The movie and new book says they run on batteries and charging, ITP says they're padded and not so hollow, and baby's claw isn't doing much of it bends that easy :V. Certainly wouldn't need those security doors
Just started, on the thumbnail: those aren’t tubes, those are mechanical muscles.
I wonder if there’s any science to the backrooms and or “noclipping”
Unfortunately, unless you happen to be an electron, no.
The backrooms is real, if you bang your head really hard while thinking of the backrooms you get teleported to it, the bad part is that when you escape you wake up in a hospital and they say you've been in a coma for a decade.
I was so hungry i read ur name as "TheChipotle" 😭😭😭😭
That was super fun to watch! I really enjoyed this video.
Are you going to make a video about the scooper from sister location and fnaf security breach ruin dlc
ah yes finally my two autistic interests, animatronics and fnaf 2:45 also they are technically called the mech, but I understand why you didn’t bring a new term in, it might be confusing for fnaf fans that know little about animatronics
The Week Before Interactive Model states that they kept going back to the stage to get more power. So I believe they would sue electric motors. The FNaF Movie even says this, claiming that the batteries are located in their feet.
Yeaay, I'm here tired af...and of course we go visit our dead relatives. I worked until this time, I had like 10 minutes at home😢
I always thought “ani” in animatronic was animal, not animated since a lot of the mascots tend to be animals… guess it makes more sense than what i thought it was
Edit:
Also i feel like a reason the endoskeletons look so skinny is because Scott isn’t an engineer. He probably didn’t put a lot of thought into how the endos are meant to look
Remember kids, fnaf if a sci-fi horror series, it’s not a realistic gritty scary one, so of course the animatronics are weird as hell
0:05 fish
what about the Security Breach endoskeletons?
0:06 "and you know what that means.."
Do you?
0:04 🐟
You forgot the sb endos
The new game theory?
so a real grizzly definitely beats freddy fazbear
What if the air in their pneumatic motors wasn't air what if it was something like Nitrogen or Argon gas? A noble gas?
Some pneumatics do use Nitrogen if you’re worried about rust! Not sure about Argon, I’d guess it’s probably pretty expensive
editing lore mistake at 11:53. you aren't editing your videos, richard is
Hey, it’s a FNAF video, screwing up your own lore is par for the course!
the goat
well in the best youtuber made a new video
Sister Location W
Helen 4:35
what about the glamrock endos a
Do you think the science of the Glamrock Animatronics are more plausible than these?
W vid
A day too late. Looks like the editor isnt gonna have a great time
Not gonna lie, that pneumatic piston animation was hell
