Anyone made animatronics with the RCX yet?

I'd like to make some sort of Disney-style animatronic robot with my RCX.  This
would involve using all three motors to control a Tiki Room-style parrot, for
example, with a rotation sensor on each motor.  Programming the robot would
involve running a program to record data from the rotation sensors, so I could
move the robot through its paces by hand then fine-tune the data by editing it
by hand, and then I could play back that data to have the motors mimic the
actions I had put them through.  (I'd love to have a graphic program to plot the
rotation data on a graph and let me edit it that way!)

Before I work on this, though, I figured I'd ask... has anyone done anything
like this before?
