Animatronic Mascot
A group of Chabot College Engineering students is building an animatronic mascot named Big Head Mike for Summer Stack, an event hosted by Art of the Bay. This community-focused event invites local creators to showcase their talent and innovation. Our team was invited to design and construct a functional animatronic version of Billy Roy’s mascot, combining creativity with mechanical and electrical engineering to bring character and motion to life.

Onshape Drawing of BigHeadMike
This detailed engineering drawing was generated from the Onshape model to guide fabrication, providing precise dimensions and views needed for accurate construction of the animatronic enclosure.
Onshape CAD Model Made By Student
Student Maya designed this 3D model in Onshape as the outer shell of an animatronic mascot, incorporating facial features that will align with internal moving components.
