Automation
Today’s Kiwi Tinker crate is all about automaton. It shows us the the art and mechanical value behind automatons – mechanical devices that seem to operate by themselves.
Atticus is learning to engineer a hand-cranked, wooden automaton that makes a marble climb stairs. He’s also exploring the gears and cams that make the mechanics work.
The finished product had Atticus racing the marbles to see who would be the champion.
