Curtis Poad's Paper and Motors

For the papers and motor project, I decided to make an origami lego man head and combine it onto a rotating platform that uses a motor and a couple led lights. I wanted this to be like a beacon or lighthouse but disguised as a lego man. It actually turned out pretty creepy than what I intended. I wanted to make this as a representation of my childhood and love of lego when I was younger. The led lights that I used act in the same way that a lighthouse would when the head rotates. The biggest challenge for me was learning how to make this origami structure.

For improvement I would add more paper body parts to complete this lego man and alsohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif include more motors to make the arms and legs move. Video can be found here.
