Objective

Learn how to translate rotational motion into other types of motion.

Activities

Create a “Cuckoo Clock” mechanics. Cuckoo Clock typically has an automaton of the bird that appears through a small trap door while the clock is striking. In this exercise, you will create mechanisms for 1) a door that opens and closes, and 2) a bird that leaps forward and backward. Once you have your mechanics working, you may automate the motion with your DC motors and servo motors controlled by Arduinos.
