    It's time for the Makers' Secret Santa. This year I'm making a giant animatronic robot Furby for very a special little boy. I used 3D printing, an Arduino and various other electronics, and brightly coloured fabric to make a 'Furby Surprise'. Makers this year are:

We’ve just embarked on building a giant Furby, but ours is going to be based on the 2005/6 version, rather than a Furby Boom, and will only be about half the size of yours. The 2005/6 was the only version with voice recognition & well be using a voice recognition module.

    Hey James, I just wanted to drop a "kudos" here for continually disclosing your sponsorships. There is that new hot 3D printing company that is obviously going around and supplying UA-camrs with tons of equipment so that their printers stay in the spotlight with neither party disclosing the sponsored relationship and it is making the UA-cam "maker" community feel scummy. It's ultra nice to come here and hear you be open and honest about your sponsors. Keep up the amazing work.
