Animatronic Marlin control box, signal wire, and power cable bundle are shown here. These are the controls for an animatronic creature built by Animal Makers. There are 6 orange buttons that control the pneumatic valves. By pressing them singly or by groups, the animatronic creature's performance changes. In the case of use with the animatronic marlin, the buttons are grouped in twos, vertically. Pressing the two buttons for the "rear fin" will kick the tail over to the other side. Pressing the two buttons labelled "front fin" will get the marlin's head to move to the other side. The "Gill" buttons each control a gill's opening, on each side of the fish as labelled. The fish's right or left is the standard.
