The question is: Are the people working on this prepared to invest the time and money knowing full well it might not work at all? Yes. Do the people here care enough about the possibility to make it worth discussing? No. But thank you for so adroitly pointing out that the effort I've put in so...

Without meaning to sound like a prick, I don't think there's much point continuing discussion on this topic until we have a working prototype. Everyone seems to be of the opinion that this isn't possible or if it is it's impractical on either a technical or fiscal level. Fair enough. I was...

Sorry, didn't realize people were still replying to this thread! The machine isn't designed to function in the way you're describing. There is absolutely no risk of it applying too much pressure as a result of is not "sensing" the proximity to the body because each module will be restricted in...

I'm familiar with Bunning's but I don't know if they have actuators and things like that. You're right, they probably have the raw materials to build anything but then I was hoping assembly would be a tad simpler than that. What I think we'll need is some kind of simple robotic processor or...

That's about the most useful advice I've received so far, so thank you very much. I'm not sure if we have a home depot down here in Australia but if I can't find something similar I'll bet someone else can go investigate.

Did you read the thread on Tickle Theater? Hollywood animatronics may leap to mind when reading what I posted here but I assure you that's simply a failing on my part to properly describe what I have in mind. The kind of high-level robotics you're talking about that go into creating complex...

Well I'm glad everyone seems to be on-board with the idea of a tickle machine, but the kind of support we were hoping for was more along the lines of constructive input. At the moment there are very few people throwing around ideas about the specifics of how to construct a tickle machine, and...

Over at Tickle Theater, I and another member are talking about plans for designing and eventually building a home-made tickle machine. I'm not talking about a little massager that you hold against your body that creates a little tickling sensation, but a computer-controlled device with modules...
