By leaving the cone loose the swirly ice cream can bounce up down.

A funfair gone wrong. 😮 -Lou

Just a rough sketch, really - I was driving in posts in the garden with a post thumper and thought I would try and replicate it here after someone mentioned the snail cam action, which I had forgotten about. What to do with the second spindle? I was being harassed by the dreaded scottish midge, but they are far too tiny to see so I substituted a wasp. - David

I was looking at what further movement could be derived from the up-and-down of the cams. The greater the range of vertical movement, the more horizontal movement you can get. Tim

Testing swimming motion. Still some troubleshooting to do. Might be interesting in textile.

Playing with some visual effects of lattices using just the up and down movement. Tim

If only Edgar Allen Poe had been able to make automata! Tim

Initial tinkering in class. One up and down motion and one with rotation

Changing from spinning to up and down motion by limiting movement.

Idea is to have cat jumping for bird.

I hope to have a goldfish lower down moving in a circular movement and think this will need the cam session this week.

I want my automata to make sound!

There's a short segment of fishing line looped through their hands. Not sure how to attach it yet!

This was inspired by my daughters dog who is always chasing birds....never catches them.

I was inspired by one of your sample ideas to attempt something that opens and closes. LOTS of trial and error here: I created a larger cam with greater throw, to really get that mouth wide. Then a matter of honing placement of the board behind the head that makes contact with the rotating axle. So that’s what’s going on on the left, then the back-and-forth offset cams on the right to creat a wagging tail (I had to contribute a new, shortened chopstick to the kit)

A traveling carnival is in town here this week and kids are all excited about the rides. My child likes the one with big swings. I wanted to show that somehow, using items close at hand. This is how far I got during the week 2 live session. I have some ideas for expanding the scene and improving the storytelling.
