My partner and I thought that this would represent a more realistic, bird-like flying motion. So far, we really like what we see. Next post will be about our design in SolidWorks and some laser cut pieces.

Day 5: The Bird Continued
We've been hard at work on our bird (or, rather, our flapping mechanism). My partner and I drew more sketches before formulating a solid idea.
Our though is to have a long Delrin rod attached to a gear move back and forth while hinged wings move up and down.
This mechanism has more dynamic movement than a simple horizontal motion. The end (which has the wings attached) moves in a circular path up and forward, then down and back.
