Abstract
An animated image system includes: an animated image including a connection location; a first actuator; an extension including an end coupled to the connection location and a section coupled to the first actuator such that a length of the extension extends between the connection location and the first actuator, where the first actuator is configured to move the section of the extension; a second actuator configured to extend or retract the extension portion to vary the length of the extension portion extending between the connection position and the first actuator; and an automation controller configured to control the first actuator and the second actuator to set a positioning of the connection position.
