Paperwhite Trammel of Archimedes
As the final project for my Foundations of Product Realization class (ME102), I was tasked with creating a simple, interactive mechanism referencing an element of its function in the real world. The objective of this project was to emphasize rapid prototyping skills and hardware integration skills we had learned throughout the quarter in order to build a clean and consistently functional mechanism. 

I chose to build a Trammel of Archimedes, otherwise known as a "do-nothing machine." Its original function was to outline a perfect ellipse, so I created a space to hold a marker should the user decide to draw one.
