La Machine’s machines are not robots. They’re gigantic animatronics driven by several people. It’s fully mechanics and hydraulics. For example, the Spider required twelve people to be operated … Yes : Twelve !
There is one person per leg, plus other persons to drive the various animations and other body parts. Also, a person has to drive the vehicle of which the machine is constructed. Unlike the machine’s frame which is specific, the vehicle is just a small mobile crane-like vehicle on which the machine has been constructed. The hydraulics systems are made to be easily repaired and their design is simple enough to avoid too much costly maintenance.
Come here by night, with the right lighting, and you will assuredly scream like you’ve never had to.
