It's a bit late for this project, but I'm doing my first animatronics for a microbudget film and a lot of local filmmakers are very interested in using animatronics in their projects. Most of my pricier materials and equipment come from the RC hobby stores, some electronics warehouses, and a LOT of the rest comes from repurposed items from the hardware store... Pretty standard fare for practical effects. I was just wondering if anyone had a source list that can keep things (relatively) inexpensive and yet still be less of a kludge? I'd really like my next project to take less time...

Sparkfun is a great place to spend way too much time and money on shiny objects: https://www.sparkfun.com/
Sparkfun is always a standby, and definitely gets the shiny part... I will continue to use it for breakouts or when I want to try a new microcontroller... but the bpesolutions is what I'm really looking for for this. Thank you, both of you.
