Making Things Move Aims
Pupils should note how: - Automata make quite complicated movements using simple mechanical operations
- the mechanisms used are borrowed from everyday mechanisms
- cams work and how useful they are
- many different types of material can be used to make automata models
- designing automata involves artistic as well as engineering skills combined with a dash of humour and originality
- each design is unique to the designer
