Oddly Satisfying



This works as a proof of concept. The $50 servo motors are weak, and the arms are too flexible.

It starts with a 2D concept which is essentially a Watts 4-bar with the bars crossed. In 3D three bars works but four don't.

But it has an ingenious gear lash ajustment and it just mesmerizing to watch.
