Thursday 7th of May
A productive Thursday !
After yesterday's adventure with legs, I tried to move onto other mechanisms today.
I was inspired by the lobster and the shrimps, who are suprisingly part of the arthropod family. I made it out of card, and linked it all with tape and sewing thread.
I am quite happy with the results, although the mechanism for the legs needs a lot of work. I talked at the group meeting about it and we brainstormed some ideas for the next time I build it. I am starting to understand the basis mechanism now.
I wanted to get more practice with the leg, so inspired by Louis's technique I used craft paper tape to mold a leg shape using different shapes. Then by playing around with the elastics and thread I finally understood the mechanism ! I realize now a few mistakes in that first build, but I will re-work and fix them.
