Final Prototype - JG
Final Presentation:
The following link will take you to my final presentation where I give a brief description of my mechanism, along with demonstrating its function:
Full Joint Assembly:
The following video gives another look at the performance of the overall mechanism:
As mentioned in the above videos, the mechanism successfully achieves the desired quick return motion, as well as having very smooth movements between each of the joints and grounding points. While its function may be improved by professionally designed components, for a take-home project it has come together nicely.
