The Plybot push toy was a skill building project created for an industrial design course. The toy had to incorporate two different types of motion transfer. See video of the toy in action at the bottom of the page.
As the toy is pushed, the wheels turn the axle, which spins a disc attached to a dowel that runs through the top of the robot’s head.
The robot’s antenna rotates like a radar dish when the toy is in motion.
Pegs on the wheels move paddles that are linked to the robot’s arms. Forward motion makes the arms pivot up and down.
