Pimped 2.0?

Aleksandr's been opened up again in an attempt to reduce his fat-neck. His range and ease of motion is much improved but the PIR sensor doesn't give the desired effect. Let's face it; with the 3 or 4 hours spent on it, cobbled together from parts from my junk draw; he's not going to be perfect! The PIR sensor triggers the motion  OK but the servo really needs to be told to return fully the other way. What it needs is a microcontroller to properly command the servo (and increase the range), switch the LED eyes and do some more sophisticated behaviour.

Should I volunteer?
