DC1: Traversal Mechanism (Apparatus). 17/03/14





Wrecking Ball Legs
Incomplete Wrecking Ball


Complete Wreaking ball
Photos and Sketches of the Mechanism that was chosen to be used in the presentation. It was chosen for a number of reasons mainly being.


  • It was Tested and found reliable
  • it had a strong base once assembled
  • it was accurate


It also had some Shortcomings such as.


  • it had a short range.
  • it would sometimes knock one of its legs out
  • the ball would some times free itself from its connection to the chain

It also went through several minor unplanned design changes during its construction. Small thing like how some configurations of the legs would increase overall strength of the mechanism.
