Parts

This section is a part identification list. Each part will be listed with its respective manufacturer, part number, and official website for purchase. The part's history should also be noted. Revisions to parts should have their own separate tab. Cosmetics are also detailed here. When a part has no official catalog, and it is unclear how to split up an animatronic into unofficial parts, parts should generally be deemed as an entire section of the metal framework (and its connecting cylinders) that cannot be separated. For RAE this for example would mean the entire head assembly is one single part (bar the plastic eyes). For cosmetics, this further applies to the smallest detachable part of a cosmetic. For example, 3-Stage Helen's wig is separate from her two pigtails, so they are counted as separate parts. Duplicate parts should just have the number "(2x)" in their tab title. The "Hardware" tab accounts for two things: one is computer boards that are directly connected to the character, such as servo controllers. The other is for loosely connected hardware local to the animatronic itself. This would include Cyberamics' valve bank boards, alongside valve banks themselves. This does not include any items directly on the main computer such as Character Cards, just things locally on or around the given animatronic and are generally paired with it.

(EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION)

The Right Arm Assembly (Part #304A) is a mechanical piece that represents the character's right arm, detachable by two 3" screws embedded in the Right Shoulder Assembly. It contains a Fabco 1/2" PANCAKE Cylinder, metal bar assembly, two air hoses, a 2" screw, bolt, and washer. The cylinder controls the "Right Arm Up" movement of the character. It was available in the parts catalog for $15 throughout its use. By 2002 it would change in price to $17. In 2003 it would gain a revision (Part #304B) selectable over the original assembly. By 2015 the original #304A stock in the catalog would run out, and only the B variant would be left in stock.
