Tech Post #6 – Creating Automatas

We finally got to start making our own automatas! First, we hot glued the separate pieces together. It was hard to keep all the pieces together and to put them together properly. After that, we had to get our cams and followers and try to attach them to the separate box with the axle and piston. We also had to get a cylinder to attach to the top hole in the box. I cut out the middle bar of my box to ensure that my cams and followers would fit. To make our automatas better, we are hot gluing two cams and two followers together to make them thicker. I really hope that my automata comes out good and I can get my design on it!
