2.) Model Assembly

  Fig.2 Side view assembly of two Crank C mechanisms in panda model                                 Fig.3 back view assembly of vertical Crank C mechanism

Followed Karakuri book instructions and template for two crank C mechanisms shown in Fig. 1.

• To prevent mechanical failure  and experimental errors, I put toothpicks in the axle shaft to make it stronger and less likely to fail in order to get results similar to ideal MATLAB analysis.
•  Uncertainty in human errors and friction are uncertainties that can cause deviation from ideal analysis MATLAB results. Some human errors during assembly process can include:
• Bending of components
• Tearing of components
• improper folding of components
• improper cutting of components

• Materials used to create Panda Paper Model
• Tape
• Toothpicks
• Cardstock templates from Karakuri Book
• Glue
• Printer paper
