Welcome to the Jointed
Monkey section. Through the next five stages
you should end up with a cheeky chap like the one on
the right, although with a little imagination I'm sure
you will be able to create something even better ! |
The principle
for this model is that when the user pulls the
cord the monkeys legs and arms go up. The string
is used to make a mechanism to make the arms and
legs move in a sequence. This is illustrated
throughout this build and in the video section
where you can see a finished monkey do his stuff
! |
