Fallout Fan Syncs Animatronic Fish to Sing 'Atom Bomb Baby' via Alexa Command

Kansas City, MO – A local creative technologist, Kevin Heckart, has brought a unique blend of retro novelty and modern gaming culture to life with his custom-programmed animatronic singing fish display. The ingenious setup, which responds to an Alexa voice command, features several classic 'Big Mouth Billy Bass' style fish performing the iconic Fallout song, "Atom Bomb Baby." The display, which includes a central singing bass holding a microphone, is adorned with popular Fallout memorabilia such as Vault-Boy and Nuka-Cola signs, creating an immersive post-apocalyptic aesthetic. When prompted, the fish animate in perfect synchronization with the music, accompanied by dynamic lighting that shifts from white to blue and purple. Online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many viewers expressing a desire to replicate the setup. One commenter exclaimed, "I need this in my settlement STAT," referencing the in-game base-building feature from the Fallout series. Another user pondered the technical complexity, asking, "do you have to program all of them specifically for the songs?" The project has resonated deeply with the gaming community, with comments like "The brotherhood would worship this tech" highlighting its appeal to dedicated Fallout fans. Heckart's creation stands as a testament to creative engineering and the enduring popularity of the Fallout franchise.
