Cam – Can you Kill the Mosquito
Crank — The Myth of Sisyphus
Gear – Running Jerry
This assignment, we tried to come up with some interesting theme and make the mechanism based on the given karakuri blue print.
When I was making the Sisyphus using crank. Initially, since the body and legs of Sisyphus are actually two pieces of black paper, so that when Sisyphus reaches to the top (pushing the rock to the top), it looks like his body is too long and seperate. And the inner white stick appears — I had to paint the stick to black to make it less noticeable.
I learnt that before making something with these mechanism, it is better to carefully make sure the exact moving distance of each element, then do the design part.
