Automata Toy
Our automata toys are now finished.
Lesson 3 - Exploring cams!
I understand that the cam profile causes a follower to rise, fall or remain static at different points depending on its shape.
My automata toy now has an automata mechanism, including a cam, follower and axle.
Lesson 2 - Assemble the automata toy frame.
In DT we are making an automata toy.
The first lesson was to accurately measure the wood for our frame and then to cut it safely with a saw.
