To begin, we will take a look at different types of mechanisms for servos like this fun example of a paper robot fish. We will then look at the toolbox example to incorporate sensors that can activate the servo motors.

Prompt: You will each design and make any 2 of the mechanisms we went over today. They should be sketched out, prototyped using cardboard and other available materials.

While one can be a mechanical demonstration, the second prototype must incorporate a sensor as an input device such as an ultrasonic sensor. If your idea requires more than one servo or a different type of sensor, check with your coach first. Refer to the data sheets below this post to see available sensors.

Deliverables 

Create a blog post with a written description of your mechanisms as well as:

• Documentation photos of your mechanisms in 2 + states (for example, open v. closed)
• Create an animated GIF of your mechanisms in action
