Animatronic T-rex

Some of the castings are taken in fibre glass, and some in silicone depending on whether or not they will have to flex on the final animatronic. Computer controlled hydraulics, pneumatics and servos will all be used to move the creature. The fibre glass castings are screwed and bolted together and steel understructures and mechanisms are built to go inside them. Lightweight yet strong structures must be built to withstand the forces and strains put on the animatronic as it will be running every day at a theme park.

The T-rex must not be fully constructed as it needs to be shipped to the theme park and be erected on-site, where 3 tonnes of granite filled concrete has been poured into the ground to support the massive animatronic. Steel legs will be placed 4ft into the ground and more concrete will be poured in to ensure the model never works itself free from the ground.
