DESIGN CYCLE STAGE 2: DESIGN
Initial Ideas
On a minimum of 2 A3 sheets of paper, use your knowledge of mechanisms and existing automata to design 4 initial ideas for a new and original automata of your own. Remember, the design Problem & Brief specifies that your automata must:
- Be visually stimulating,
- Captivate and intrigue the viewers,
- Have a minimum of 3 mechanical mechanisms
Each of your 4 ideas need to include the following:
- Sketches to show the idea and how it functions,
- The mechanisms that would be used and the input/output motions,
- Written Descriptions/Annotations to describe how it works,
- A reason why you have chosen this as a design
