Wood Automatons (vintage robots) fascinate both kids and adults. The deceptively simple movements produce intricate animations that can be used to visual fantastical stories.
Building an automaton is a great way to teach about the basic principles of mechanics; such as cams, pistons, and reciprocal motion.These core principles of mechanical engineering are the basis of many moving objects around us from cars, to lifting bridges, and even modern robots.
