Bell Tower Animatronic

A working animatronic model of NC State’s Bell Tower that won 2nd place at First Year Engineering Design Day.

Description

In my first year, our team designed and 3D-printed a working animatronic model of NC State's Bell Tower within strict size and material constraints. The project involved moving parts, structural supports, bearings, motors, and a compact platform design.

It was my first full design-build-test loop and helped push me toward hands-on engineering projects.
