Mechanical toy featuring a rubber-band powered scissor linkage mechanism for tactile kinetic play.
A mechanical board game engineered under strict material constraints: Wood and Rubber Bands only.
Inspired by the classic "Råttfällan" game, I developed a double-acting press mechanism to create physical tension. The primary challenge was engineering a reliable kinetic function without the use of metal springs or plastic components
Key Features:
• Mechanics: Iteratively simulated and tested to ensure consistent repeatability.
• Sustainability: Constructed entirely from Birch and Pine with biodegradable bands for 100% recyclability.
• Engagement: Playful aesthetic tailored to engage the target demographic (children around 8 years old).
