🦴 Result:
A fully adjustable, waterproof, plug-and-play gravebreaker skeleton that looks like it’s clawing out of the ground, built from scrap wood, a $25 skeleton, and the Monster Guts 12V kit.

I'll share more pictures after the big night! 👻

🧠 Future Integration
Later I can bypass the PWM and control the motor via Arduino + motor driver (L298N, BTS7960, etc.) for Unity/Kinect or Bottango show sync.

🌫️ Finishing Touches
Dress skeleton with rags, moss, or dirt
Add LED uplight or flicker strobe for drama
Optional fog nozzle under chest for “grave mist”

⚡ Wiring & Control
Mount the speed controller inside a waterproof junction box
Tavonuxt Waterproof Electrical Box
Drill holes for cord grips / cable glands for 12V and motor leads
Wire quick-disconnects for easy teardown
Plug into 12V adapter → adjust dial for perfect “digging” speed

🪝 Head Mechanism
Add eye or rhombus hooks:
One at back of skull
One along spine
One on back of the T-frame
Run fishing line or wire through them to the motor side
Torso rocks back → line tightens → head lifts
Torso rocks forward → line loosens → head drops
Trim back as needed for the best range

💀 Skeleton Setup
Skeleton: 5.4ft Halloween Skeleton
Remove head and part of spine
Add ½" PVC crossbar across the clavicles for rigidity
Loosen arm joints or replace with a ½" PVC axle so arms flop naturally
Optional: use a ¾" PVC “T” floating on the ½" pipe for pivoting shoulders

⚙️ Motion System
Power Kit: Monster Guts 12V Power Pack
Mount the wiper motor about halfway down the vertical post on the back
Use the included extension arm
- Remove pelvis from skeleton
- Drill through coccyx and bolt the extension arm there
- Adjust linkage distance for smooth forward/back rocking

🧱 Frame
- Lumber: 2×4 (or 1×2 / 1×3 if you want lighter)
- Main beam: 36"
- Cross beam: 24" - forms a capital “T” on bottom
- Drill starter holes or risk splits!
- Main beam ontop of cross so the longer bar sits slightly graded up → gives the skeleton a forward “emerging” tilt

🪦 Overview
A simple, durable, and surprisingly smooth “ground breaker” animatronic using a 12V wiper motor and cheap skeleton.
The torso rocks up and down like it’s clawing its way out of the ground — plug-and-play with the Monster Guts Power Pack, ready for future Arduino or Kinect integration.
