Followed Karakuri book instructions and template for two crank C mechanisms shown in Fig. 1.

  • To prevent mechanical failure  and experimental errors, I put toothpicks in the axle shaft to make it stronger and less likely to fail in order to get results similar to ideal MATLAB analysis.

  •  Uncertainty in human errors and friction are uncertainties that can cause deviation from ideal analysis MATLAB results. Some human errors during assembly process can include:

    • Bending of components

    • Tearing of components

    • improper folding of components

    • improper cutting of components

  • Materials used to create Panda Paper Model

    • Tape

    • Toothpicks

    • Cardstock templates from Karakuri Book

    • Glue

    • Printer paper
