Final Prototype - JS

The final prototype largely achieved the primary goal of constant slider velocity given a constant angular velocity. Additionally, the final design utilized bolts, washers, and nuts to hold the joints together and provide clearance for the links to move. Finally, the mechanism was sized such that it could easily fit in a backpack, but was large enough that it could still be easily manipulated, and viewers could easily visualize the link motion. The video below shows the final prototype in operation:
