Team 12 - Introduction and Background

Our project is inspired by a useless box. A useless box is made up of a simple box with a switch, with the function of turning itself off. A user flips the switch on and an arm comes out of the box and flips it back. The electronics of useless boxes are pretty simple with motors and switches. 

We wanted to recreate the useless box with a focus on incorporating complex mechanisms rather than relying on electronics to drive the motion.
