it do? � Because I plan to oneday make a small animatronic balto toy. �Still wondering how I am gonna do voice overs and get the tools needed to make him. �Mine would howl with a pat on the head and say fun phrases. �I would make its face change with its mood cause it seems few companies are making those. �That b Sooo cool! �I'd love to see balto when you dont feed him or show attention and he gets all sad and stuff. �Also seeing him get angry would be neat and maybe it could have a remote so I can change his mood when im not happy myself and make him angry. Whats your dream pet animatronic toy?
Hey man I think i know the common responce would be your name  J/K lol,
if your dream does come true, the technology by the time will most likely be good enough to where he can make decisions and have a personality
That would be cool if you can make one, make sure you can give me one ^.^ ill buy one. . . probably when my dream comes true (which is to be a graphic game designer)i would make like a balto game and make it uber fun and i would only make like 10 copies and i would make other balto stuff with graphics
I plan on getting one of those Sony AIBO dogs one day when I can afford it and calling it Balto. They are so cool.
What are the Sony AIBO dogs? I've never heard of them.

It would be so cool to have an animatronic Balto. I would buy as many as I could afford.
This is one of the AIBO models http://www.aibo-europe.com/1_1_1_ers210_1.asp?language=en
Yea.  I got alot of parts that would be good for some simple actions.  I still need to get the programming part down and interface and all that junk.  It turns out you need alot of skill to make your own control system... :(   I could always skim for something that doesnt do as much seeing as I can probably do that.  The only real limits I got now is space and time.  And money of course.  I'll still try nonetheless. My challenge will be to get all of baltos prespectives to measure.  EG. top view, Back, front, side, etc.  They all have to be the same dimensions and any notes on thickness and so on.  I havent got that yet..  But I plan to get a sheet and
experiment with it.  I will also test shapes with cotton and cloth to get the ideal plushie "skin".  Wish me luck.  I am welcome to any and all suggestions.  
P.S.  Srry bout the lack of posts.  1 word will answer that.  College. :laugh:
