Tech Tips
Dave Bodnar

In the Tech Tips column from February 2009 I talked about  building the Mr. Rogers Trolley that has been running at Children's Hospital for the last three years.

Last fall I added some animation to the layout by putting moving, flashing eyeballs atop an Eggliner.  So far this whimsical Eggliner has been a big hit.  Here is a link to my notes on how it all works.

If you have any ideas for additional animations or other improvements to the layout please let me know.
