Oblivion Drone reactive motion detected

This project is a culmination of various concepts and components. As one of its contributors, I'm proud to have played a part in keeping the momentum going. While it's impossible to thank every single contributor individually, all the links below will reveal the talented editors who helped shape this project: https://www.instructables.com/id/Building-a-moving-and-tracking-Portal-Turret/ https://www.instructables.com/id/Portal-2-Turret-Gun/ I leveraged the electronics from the MIA Portal Robot project found on the above Instructables links. I then proceeded to upgrade those electronics and servos into the Oblivion Defender Drone. Next, I remixed the servo actuator from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3170748 by Potentprintables, creating an arm that opens and closes in a synchronized manner. To accommodate this new component, I miniaturized it to fit within the Oblivion model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:83193) designed by BradonW6. Although I could have chosen any available Oblivion Defender Drone design at the time, Brandon's solid water-tight files made his a more appealing choice. Additionally, I enlarged the drone model to 1.3% of its original scale using my entire printer desktop since the actuator arms can only be miniaturized so far. Due to the complexity of this project, I'm only sharing remixed files. Please source the original files from the links provided above for a seamless build experience. This process is ongoing, and I'll upload more pictures as I complete it. One of the key takeaways from this project is that it enables automation of most models by editing sound files. With just two servos and a few lights, you can achieve impressive results. If someone could integrate deep sleep functionality and additional lighting into the Arduino nano, it would greatly expand modeling possibilities, including using a 9-volt battery. The servo gear has been hollowed out to accommodate the original servo boot cap since printing such small gears is not feasible.
