Uh oh! Looks like we have a Tex Richman in our midst!I would like the Muppet Theater and the Muppet name!

...oh yeah, and an evil puppet henchman with an English accent!Uh oh! Looks like we have a Tex Richman in our midst!
Can I change my mind...I want that!A fully animatronic and interactive Rowlf. Jam packed with sensors. Touch sensors, light sensors, sound sensors, motion detectors, the whole nine yards. It would be able to respond when you spoke to it and would have special responses for several key phrases. The motion sensors would allow it to know when someone is near and respond accordingly. It would also have an internal sensor that would enable it to know when it is being moved and make comments. Touch sensors would be placed throughout the body so that it would know when it is being touched, having it's hand squeezed or hugged.
If my dream of learning to build and design robotic toys ever comes true, one of the first things I'd like to do is get the Muppets license and make a whole range of animatronic and interactive Muppets characters.
And when you place him at a piano, he starts to sing and play all his songs.A fully animatronic and interactive Rowlf. Jam packed with sensors.

Are you kidding? With an actual Muppet fan owning the theater and name the characters would never disappear period!Uh oh! Looks like we have a Tex Richman in our midst!
Pretty good idea, though I'm not quite sure how it'd be done. You'd have to have his arms move which might drive the cost up a bit. Probably not a whole lot though as there was at least one FurReal robot dog with front legs that moved and it didn't run more than $60. Plus that Elmo Live thing also had moving arms and it didn't cost much more than that. You'd also have to have a sensor in the toy and the piano that would allow the toy to recognize it and activate the required response. Judging by some of the other robot toys I've seen and the price of them you could probably get a decent interactive Rowlf ( or any other muppet ) for about $100.And when you place him at a piano, he starts to sing and play all his songs.
