One of my longer term goals is to make a Rocket Raccoon cosplay to go with my friends' Guardians of the Galaxy group at some point in the future. As none of us are tall or gangly enough to cosplay Groot without some serious stilt work; I'm wanting to make a little Groot in a pot to put in a backpack that I can carry around.
I have some experiencing in prop making and I'm confident I can comfortably make all the cosmetic details, such as realistic soil and bark, as well as keeping it light to carry (as I am disabled), but I've been doing some research as to what type of motor would give the best kind of fluid movement of dance.
I'll be getting some circuiting practice in with remaking my Widow's Bites for my Black Widow costume (basic LED lights, maybe a small on/off flicker sequence) but I'd like to be thinking about this as a side project to keep me going over the winter months.
Any suggestions as the best components to use?
Reference:
I understand I obviously won't be able to get the same motions with a single motor, but a rotating swivel would be great, then I can just make the upper half pliable for extra movement.
