Animatronic Iron Man suit with wireless helmet, shoulder rockets, forearm missile, hip pods, light up boots and moving back flaps. The suit has four Arduino microcontrollers, 20 servo motors, a digital sound board and the functions are activated by RFID tags in the gloves. This was a special project done with a friend- I do not make nor do I sell Iron Man helmets or armor. My friend is still finishing up the suit and giving it a repaint and then we'll have more video after it's done!
And yes that is the suit's owner wearing it. The picture in the video was taken during the first test fitting after installing the animatronics. At that point in time a lot of the suit details were missing, hence the gaps in the suit.
