In this refresh of the Automata project we created a theme for our moving cams. They had to be creative and interesting toy for children to play with. To satisfy these criteria we needed to build a working Automata that included two cams that moved the two rods at the top. In my case, the project used two identical eccentric cams made out of plastic. They were surrounded by the wooden box, axle and rods for the two cams. As for the toy's design it was a simple boat sailing over rocky waters. To add a bit of humor and fun two men were added to the toy, one in the water and the other on the boat trying to fish him out.
