Final Project Video

A video of the final project for class. I am happy with how the project turned out. I already am seeing things that I might try to work on if I were to do this again.

Final Video

Having some trouble with the video uploading, so I am leaving a link to it on youtube while I figure it out.

Progress on the final. IT MOVES!!

The movement is still a little rough, I need to sand some of the pieces and do some fine tuning still. I also need to attach the servo motor to drive the movement, but it works, so I am really excited. I can't wait to see it combined with the other components.

Great Mechanism Resource

A great link. Shows animated gears and other moving things. Really a help for figuring out what mechanisms are needed to drive particular motions

Final Project Proof of Concept Vids

To videos showing the type of movement we want to achieve. There will be more of the moving parts too.

Mid Term Mock up

Starting to build the gears that will translate the movement from the servo motor to the rest of the mechanism.
