Crab Windup Toy
Featuring: Explosion & Animation, Teamwork!
We utilized OneDrive for file share and Google Sheets to keep track of our progress.
Reflection:
Biggest Challenge: we thought one of the biggest challenge we faced, especially at the beginning, was the coordination of OneDrive usage/timing as editing a part/assembly at the same time can be quite problematic.
Hardest Part: we thought the hardest part to model was the surfaces - the shell and the claws. I thought the gearbox was also a little difficult because the distance of slots/gears have to be exactly right for the gears to be correctly meshing.
Most Surprising thing: Animation actually super fun! Except sometimes it won’t update and we have to constantly recalculate, which takes a very long time.
