The World Needed Artist Focused Robotics

I’m Evan, founder of Bottango. I started Bottango in 2018 in my garage with a hacked lawn flamingo and spare parts. 

With 15 years in game development and a lifelong passion for animatronics, I set out to create a human-focused tool for artistic expression in robotics. I wanted something that made creativity in robotics and motors as easy as it was in the world of screens and pixels.

Over the years, Bottango has grown and become the best tool for creativity in robotics, bridging digital animation workflows with the real world.

Using my years of experience creating art in the digital space of video games, I grew Bottango into a world class tool for creativity in hardware.

Plus, Bottango’s software is totally free and works with open-source hardware you may already own.

From garage builds to robots on “America's Got Talent,” Bottango has empowered builders everywhere.

Easy DIY Animatronics

Continuing the mission to make animatronic arts accessible, I wanted to make it easier not just to control an animatronic, but to HAVE an animatronic.

Our DIY animatronic kits open the door to learning, creating, and expressing yourself like never before through the art of animatronics.
