Laser Cut Paper Iris

An attempt was made at cutting out a mechanical iris on the laser cutter. It did not work so well and was later abandoned without making it motorized.

A separate mechanical device, a power window motor was modified through sheet metal work and welding. This was used to hang a tree upon and thereby spin it. This is seen in action in a short clip of the Robotic Branch Video below during Rossum’s recent Uncanny Valley robotic art show at the Brewhouse.
