Of all the robots designed, the most difficult to conceptualize was Teddy, the 'supertoy' that would be a featured player in the film. "Designing Teddy was a huge job," said Winston, who hired his largest crew ever to complete the robot construction project. At the height of production, Stan Winston Studio boasted 140 artists and technicians. Building Teddy, a more sophisticated and complex animatronic than any of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, required that increased manpower, plus the ingenuity and talent of many artists and technicians. "We'd given our Velociraptor thirty-four points of motion," explained Winston, "and our T-rex, forty points of motion. But Teddy had fifty points of motion, all in a little character that was less than three feet tall. He had to act, he had to talk, and he had to deliver a varied and convincing performance. We had to create the ultimate robotic teddy bear -- and that was the biggest, most difficult job we'd ever taken on."
