Why are the eyes considered a crucial part of an animatronic's design?

• They are the easiest parts to replace.

• They allow for a wide range of expressive movements.

• They are typically the most durable components.

• They consume the least amount of power.

What type of system is used to power the movements of the animatronics shown at the beginning of the video?

• Hydraulic

• Pneumatic

• Electric

• Mechanical

What is the key difference between the animatronic system Jack uses and the system the presenter plans to build for her eye model?

• Jack's system uses electricity, while the presenter's uses batteries.

• Jack's system uses air, while the presenter's uses water.

• Jack's system uses gears, while the presenter's uses levers.

• Jack's system is large, while the presenter's is small.

What two distinct types of motion are the eyes in the presenter's hydraulic model designed to perform?

• Up and down, and blinking

• Side-to-side, and up and down

• Rotating, and winking

• Forward and backward, and squinting

How does the completed hydraulic eye model control the movement of the eyes and eyelids?

• Electric motors turn gears to move the parts.

• Compressed air is pushed through tubes to activate pistons.

• Water is pushed through sealed tubes to displace pistons.

• Strings are pulled to manipulate the eyes and eyelids.
