I decided to focus on motion with my automata. I wanted to make something that was very fun and easy to use. In addition I wanted the motion to sort of mesmerize you.
the circles are off set in such a way that a wave is created in the fabric on top. one problem I ran into was there being too much friction between the circles and the pistons. I decided to apply tape where I needed it and this solved my problems. To farther people making these out of card board... don't use gears. make them simple and good.
