Prototype Project: Linkages using Popsicle Sticks

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a prototype project using linkages made from recycled materials, specifically popsicle sticks. The project requires an input motion that results in useful work, prompting participants to share innovative ideas. Suggestions may include simple machines like levers or mechanical arms that can demonstrate effective motion transfer. The emphasis is on utilizing available materials creatively while meeting the project's requirements. Engaging with others for brainstorming can lead to unique and functional designs.

Hi, this is my first post. I need some ideas for my prototype project using linkages. We are required to use recycled materials like popsicle stick as a link. Our instructor ask for an equipment or device that has an input motion and output useful work. Thank you.
