Eric and Scott's Progress toward their Final Project

we want wings that have "that feeling" and we are making linkages from paper, straws, and lego (of course) to try to create the two-fixed-point movement (one for the wing itself and one for the rotating motor shaft that will give it that air-fluid movement.

OK, so we have found that making wings and legs and things is pretty complicated. We decided to tackle things separately. I took the mechanical drive train and built a proto-lego-type of the drive that would move a pin on a wheel 360 degrees.
