A New Animatronic Character for the Gravesend Inn
Control Geek: Our original animatronic character, eventually named “O’Skully” first appeared in The Gravesend Inn in either 2001 or 2002. I originally got the character back in probably 2000 or 2001 as a teaching tool; he was made by KX International (no longer in the animatronic business, apparently) and had been a demo unit. He was damaged in shipping and I had to get a friend in to do machine a part for neck surgery. He lived in our light lab, and even graced the cover of a 2001 Stage Directions magazine in an issue for which I wrote an article about our program’s approach.
