Cracking open the Nabaztag Wi-Fi rabbit

Not exactly direct drive, the movement of the ears is driven by two electric motors and this intricate gear system.

Note what is essentially a floating gear that sits between the drive shaft of the motor and the gear system that moves each ear. Take it from me, this mechanism was not easy to put back together in working order.

But I did get it back in working order, after struggling with it for longer than I wanted. I wasn't going to let the Nabaztag beat me.
