Headband

The Headband item has been reimagined!  That's good news.  The previous version was a bit awkward to wear and the pink material encasing the Made With Magic components distorted many colors and often caused missed command signals. Here, a complete tear-down reveals what's new.

Highlights:

• weight distribution improved
• fabric layer no longer covering MWM components
• power switch moved to underside of right ear
• batteries moved to headband under each ear

A Halibut is a bottom fish.  Over the years it has evolved such that both eyes are on the same side of it's body.  That's a handy arrangement for anything that spends most of it's time on the bottom looking up.  Smart Halibut.

The Minnie Mouse headband was among a group of new Made With Magic devices that were released in October of 2014.  From time spent in the parks, it seems to be one of the more popular MWM items.  However, despite it's relative popularity, I don't recall seeing a previous online tear down posted for this device.  Nor does it seem to be much favored by MWM hackers.  Maybe that will change as folks get to know it a little better.

In this article, the teardown is described along with other pertinent information
