Assignment

Simple Mechanism Prototype

Part 1: Find a simple mechanism, either from your toy, your research group, or another source, and sketch out the mechanism on paper. The mechanism does not need to be complex. What are the components of the mechanism? How is the motion transferred between those components? Add callouts and descriptions to your drawing.

Part 2: Create a working prototype of the mechanism in low-fidelity prototyping materials. Do not use any digital fabrication methods, nor wood, for this mechanism. You should use materials from the list below:

You are welcome to use other materials in the same vane. If you are unsure of a material or process, feel free to reach out to me over DM.
