Lovely @robives.bsky.social dragon linkage mechanism. Next step: recreate with my acrylic linkage kit and add servo control. 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 www.robives.com/project/drag...

Double Geneva Mechanism. A paper project for you to download and make. For each turn of the crank the index wheel advances quarter of a turn twice with a short pause, or dwell, between each movement. #automata #paperengineering #EssentialMechanism www.robives.com/project/doub...

Prototype for updated logic goat project. The geometry on the rear leg linkage needs a bit of work. I want it to really kick! #maker #paperengineering #PaperAutomata #prototype
