Looks fantastic!
Is your snail/turtle all charged up and coming out too?
Charged up, in the trailer and ready to go.. Since I am driving the Magical Locomotive, I had to turn Turtle driving duties over to a friend. Just for scale, the top of the Turtle Hat is 6’2"
Nice! I’m guessing it won’t be long before you interface the logic of a roomba, throw in a few proximity sensors, then let them run around behind you fully automated.
Hit a button on your train dash and they would line up behind you like little ducks, hit it again and they would random pattern/spin while still keeping in reasonable range.
Ha Ha.. I don’t think my insurance carrier would like me anymore..
Besides, they are so much fun to drive. The wheelchairs I used for the motion platforms are super responsive.

I used Jazzy Selects in my 2 Cupcake Cars and they will get up and go along with spin on a time.
I had also hacked the joystick interface and had one running off of an Arduino with an old Gravis joystick. I was going to set it up for RC remote control but instead ended up making a Cupcake Car with a tricycle in it so kids could drive one too. Quite fun doing goofy stuff like this.
