New for 2007 is KangaRex, the first animatronic Kinetic Sculpture Racer. Well, she will be animatronic when we get the computer installed. But the servos are all in place.

	Here is how we planned the artwork. [Kangaroo images captured on the web]
We made KangaRex animatronic by hooking up servos to drive the eyes, hears, mouth, and neck. A tiny computer drives the servos.		KangaRex neck with servos. We haven't actually driven the neck servos yet. And we haven't yet driven the speaker in the pictures below.
	KangaRex head with eyes, servos and speaker. The snout was foreshortened relative to a real kangaroo to enhance cuteness.
Here is KangaRex in her new skin. The team poses with her. Here is a link to the full size picture. [pictures by Raymond]
	Here are our buttons. And on the right, an early version of the button.. And this is a printable current version. [Kangaroo images captured on the web. Edits by Dave Neiman and Allen Brown.]

No kangaroos were harmed making this Kinetic Sculpture Racer.
