Animation: How a cam works: As the green cam turns, the blue box rises into the air. You can use a cam like this, driven by a rotating wheel, to make something happen every so often. The slower the wheel turns, the less often it'll happen.

When it's wound up tightly, it fits entirely inside the white box. It's quite hard to squeeze sturdy metal into such a small space—and that's why it can store energy so effectively: the harder you have to work to compress a Seriously, even the control panel is mounted a good 2 inches higher than all the other arcade games.

There’s no coin door yet so I ground one of the wires destined to connect to the coin mech, the game coins up and I hit start … nope, won’t start, no game inputs, dash into the house, find a second interface board and swap it in, power, coin, start, YES we are playing DEFENDER! That’s the rest of my day, sitting in my garage playing Defender on a disembodied arcade machine. Playing disembodied Defender Originally depicted as nonmechanical, modrons , the dominant race of Mechanus , the Lawful Neutral plane in Dungeons & Dragons, became more mechanical over time before being replaced by formians and inevitables , another mechanical race who are basically the multiverse's law enforcement officers.

The famous magician Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin (1805–1871) was known for creating automata for his stage shows.

In ancient China, a curious account of automation is found in the Lie Zi text, written in the 3rd century BC. Within it, there is a description of a much earlier encounter between King Mu of Zhou (1023-957 BC) and a mechanical engineer known as Yan Shi, an 'artificer'. The latter proudly presented the king with a life-size, human-shaped figure of his mechanical handiwork ( Wade-Giles spelling): As in Greek mythology, there are ambitious automation claims in the legends of other cultures. For example, in Jewish legend, Solomon used his wisdom to design a throne with mechanical animals which hailed him as king when he ascended it; upon sitting down an eagle would place a crown upon his head, and a dove would bring him a Torah scroll. It's also said that when King Solomon stepped upon the throne, a mechanism was set in motion. As soon as he stepped upon the first step, a golden ox and a golden lion each stretched out one foot to support him and help him rise to the next step. On each side, the animals helped the King up until he was comfortably seated upon his throne. [7] Markowitz, Judith (2014). Robots that Talk and Listen: Technology and Social Impact.

Da Vinci is frequently credited with constructing a mechanical lion, which he presented to King Francois I in Lyon in 1515. Although no record of the device's original designs remain, a recreation of this piece is housed at the Château du Clos Lucé. [44] Rosheim, Mark E.
