Safety Regulations: I think the only warning that needs to be placed on the toy is that it may contain small parts that children could try to put in their mouth. It could also be dangerous if Josh and I do not build it well and pieces fall off

Decision matrix
Develop a Solution
Parametric constraints were needed so that we only had to change one thing, d, to change the scale size of the cam. This makes everything a whole lot easier and more efficient.

Birch wood costs from $3-5 per lb so the total cost, $4*1.535, is $6.14.
Evaluate the Solution
I show our project to my mom and dad. They thought the project was really cool and that the scenery looked nice. They also thought it was cool that silas and I were actually making what we modeled on inventor. But my parents did say that we could have mad the sun go up and down a bit more for a more real affect. Also they thought that we could have made the box and materials a little more classy and colorful. But over all they thought it was nice and that we did a good job. We also worked very well while doing this project, so well that we were even able to make our automata in real life without much problems. I feel like my inventor skills have improved over the time of project.
