Pull Toy Construction

Today, Gabriel and I have worked on this horse. This pull-toy is made out of VEX pieces and have different mechanisms that work together to create new forms and movements. This horse has 2 bevel gears, 1 universal joint, 4 cam and followers and 4 chain drive. This was the winning design and I am really happy on how this build came out. There were many difficulties and goals we could not accomplish because of the time we had to finish this build. One of the difficulties was the movement of the head which in the end was not able to move and also we wanted to put a cartoon figure over a cam and follower to make an illusion as if the little toy was moving up and down with the movement of this toy. This is probably the hardest build done in my life and I really loved it; I'm definitely ready to take the next challenge and hope to have a fun time with my partner like I always do.
