For Week 3, the focus was on Karakuri, a type of paper toy that could transform upon impact as well as different type of mechanisms. I picked an easy paper toy for this week without thinking too much to understand how karakuri works first so that I can work on the difficult ones later where I picked the turtle. This proved to be a good idea as I had to follow up with how to fold and attach pieces together which helped when I created the mechanism of cam, crank, and gear. Below, the photos of the projects can be seen as well as a video of the cam mechanism and turtle toy.
