Our movement mechanism design has stay constant throughout our design process. Ever since we came up with our project idea we knew that we wanted to implement the square motion of the Reuleaux Triangle. For our prototype we made a smaller version to test that it would work as intended, which we then scaled up for our final version.

We initially wanted to do a six-bar mechanism for the punching mechanism, but then realized it would not fit the scope of this project and then switched to a four-bar attached to a slider crank mechanism. For the prototype we made a mini 3D printed proof of concept version, which we then redesigned at full scale for the final version.
