real life animaronics such as characters in the rockafire explosion and chuck e cheese are powers by solenoids and hydraulics, since all those wires are connecting to the 2 main circut boards, that leads to the main air pump. the orange wires you see are the tubes for the air to power the robot. billy bob who is an animatronic from the rock a frie explosion is controlled by a panel that allowes worker or employees to interact with children using a button that powers the body, mouth, eyes, and eyelids. fun fact: surprisingly the concept of entertainment animatronics was widley used in the 60s, 70s, especially 80s, and 90s. they are still used today, but not as much
