The Animatronic Head Kit for micro:bit provides everything you need (apart from a micro:bit and batteries) to make a talking animatronic head. Its eyes move and the head speaks from a MonkMakes Speaker for micro:bit.

The programs for this project are a mixture of Makecode blocks and MicroPython. MicroPython is needed for some projects as the speech module is not available as blocks code and its nice to have the robot talk.

The kit is based around four laser-cut pieces of acrylic plastic, which have parts bolted to them. Theses parts include the servomotors that move the eye-balls, a battery box to power everything (including the micro:bit) an amplified loudspeaker and a servomotor controller board.
