Reverse Engineering Wind Up Toy
The Reverse Engineering Wind Up Toy was originally meant to aid my understanding of how a simple apparatus works. The project itself helped me develop a concrete understanding not only of how the apparatus works, but also how to accurately and efficiently reverse engineer a mechanism.
Visual Analysis

Side View

Top View

The front view displays a mainly pink shiny shell. This is paired with a different shade pink caps(the wheels) that are connected with a shiny pin. There is a shiny metallic pin that attached a rigidly textured white piece. There is also two blue pieces shiny material with spherical caps, and in the middle of those two there is a small piece of green shiny material.
|
The side view displays a mainly pink and brown shell with. It displays the spherical objects towards the top, and we can see the spherical nature of the objects. As well as this its green highlights are clearly extruding from the shell, but the brown spots are clearly not extruding out. There is also clear contrast with each color. The side view also displays the connection point of the shell well.
|
The top view displays the upper portion of the shell mainly. We can see that the upper and lower portion are similarly sized because the upper portion covers up the majority of the lower portion. We also see a detailed drawing on the upper portion of the outer shell, and we can more clearly see the split between the middle of the head. The top view doesn't display the other parts in a much different way than the other views.
