Here are some photos of the destruction of the singing bunny.
Everyone that wants to create gear boxes similar to what we dissected the other day, here is a GREAT place to get started:

Also, you might wanna look into buying a lego mindstorm set from the Lego educational site, here's a link

This has everythign you need to create really cool stuff, basically you just attach a main gear to a servo or DC motor and use that to control everything

The flying-pig site is awesome!
Thank you Steve
are you gonna build a robot ?!?!
I found Rock Star Elmo at the Salvation Army on 4th Ave. He has definitely seen better days, and his guitar playing mechanism was broken . Still I was interested to see what he looked like in the inside. Here are the picture from the operation.There is no video available of him rocking out because I realized he was broken once I put new batteries 😦
Front with guitar in hand Back with battery pack hanging
::Inside of the guitar::
1. giant 8 om speaker compare to those found in new toys
2. ON/OFF button at the top right of the guitar
3. Motor that moves as the music plays
::Close up of motor mechanism::
The plastic disc connects to a plastic rod that Elmo holds in his hand.
As the music plays, this mechanism moves up and down to make it look as though Elmo is playing the chores of the guitar.
Back of the motor with gears and battery pack
