One of my long term goals has always been to make moving sculpture, and I've been experimenting with robotics as a side interest for a long time. Today I got my first real controller, and hope to do some experiments with it with muscle wire to make a breathing figure(very slight movement).

If it works and anyone is interested you can get the controller I got here:

Muscle wire, the coolest invention possibly ever is available at the robot store:

I've also found what looks to be a cool controller here:

I've found yet another controller that's cheap at the robot store, and looks to be exactly what I need:

The one on ebay has a very simple control program, which I'm not sure will meet my needs. This one shows it has loopable command ability and is half the cost.
