Brief Background / Problem Statement

This project aims to realize a jumping rabbit mechanism that achieves a reasonable airborne time (ended up more like a kangaroo that behaves like a bucking bull). The prototype will showcase the fundamental jumping function achieved by an organic jumping profile, with potential future applications in robotics for navigating complex terrains.

Final Prototype:
