Automaton

In class we were asked to make our own version of an Automaton which is a mechanical device that makes movement, noise, etc. In mine i decided to use gears to rotate a dowel at the end. All of my gears are perpndicular tot he ones next to it. By working on this project i learned that if ur gears arent perfectly cut, the gears skip and dont rotate. It took me many tries to get them right but I finally was able to make the device work.
