Next week I am going to try out the Designing Automata Kit from the Maker Shed. It’s a beautifully made kit that seems to have endless possibilities. When I opened the box, I was really surprised at just how many pieces are included in the kit.
The New Designing Automata Kit is great value and fantastic quality. No glue or tools are required, and you will learn about simple mechanics using cams and a crank slider mechanism. Many different designs can be made, and the kit used over and over again. Produced in Thailand using chemical-free rubber wood, from sustainable sources.
Using the kit straight out of the box is going to be a lot of fun. Then again, I wonder how I might add some electrical components to make my Designing Automata Kit really unique.

Any links on Tinkertoy-based automata? Would drag my nephew away from Super Smash Bros. once in a while.
I haven’t found any, but I’ll keep looking.
This kit appealed to my eye instantly. It appeared on a Pinterest board and I had to seek the source of the image. The delightful illustration on the box is perfect. The smooth and aesthetic wooden components invite the viewer to want to play and create, which is just what I want to do! I wish the box was arriving in the post today! Great job. I hope the kit is a huge success. Tim
