Automated Wheelo

A project log for Santa's Shop

This is a techno/art installation to be displayed in the community--similar to old time holiday window displays.

I needed to automate the Wheelo to make it an active toy in the Shop.

So, if operating a Wheelo by hand is too boring then you can build your own automated system by following the instructions here.

I'm in the process of hiding cables and organizing wires. Elmer (being the first elf) has a hospital type gown (got to secure that) and unlabeled wires (how many details did I think I could retain?)

For the "Naughty & Nice" shelf, there had to be signs, a sleigh, more elves and decorations. The .stl files for the sign and sleigh are posted in the files on this site.
