RobBob is a small little Robot with a lot of personality. Whether you're animating him through the control knobs or servo motors, you can get RobBob to move with 2 degrees of freedom.

This motion is achieved by transferring the power from the knobs to the bevel gears. Turning the rotation knob rotates RobBob's head, while moving both knobs together adjusts the pitch of the head forward and backward.

You can take this project a step forward by adding a couple small servo motors and an arduino board. Take it a step further still by getting everything to work with an N64 controller. Please note that removing the cartridge and blowing on it will not automatically fix any programming issues.

This link explains a little more about the project and has the code to make it run with an N64 controller:
