I am pleased to announce that we have been able to bring down shipping costs significantly for my animatronic-compatible eyes and control boards! Initially our costs were very high having to take each one to the post office myself but now the cost has been almost halved. I know that the high shipping cost was pretty off-putting so I'm really happy to have fixed this.

We're also offering free shipping over a certain order price - depending on where you're located!

Check out nmrobots.com/ for highly realistic, animatronic-compatible eyes and control boards!

Over the years a lot of people have asked if they can buy the realistic eyeballs I use in my animatronic eye mechanisms. I am thrilled to announce that my animatronic-compatible eyes are now available to PREORDER through nmrobots.com/ !

These eyes will be compatible with my newest ε series eye mechanisms (the new snap fit ones) which will also be receiving an update soon. I have an affordable version and a super high-quality version. These eyes are available to preorder and I'm hoping to ship in Q2.

For the initial launch, you guys can get an exclusive discount with code NMSUBSCRIBER!

I'm really excited to be launching this! Check the new website here: nmrobots.com/

Hi guys, I was planning on releasing a video this month but due to various clashing life events I'm going to have to break my monthly video streak and put it on the backburner while I work on my next video for Halloween. Since I'm still pretty happy with my mechanical design, I've uploaded everything to my OnShape drive, and I've put together an informal video on my Patreon page discussing the progress so far, what went wrong, etc.

Sorry guys! I'd rather wait until it's right than release something half-baked.
