Rowboat Toy

A mechanical rowboat toy that moves using a Scott Russell linkage. First, we brainstormed and sketched the design, followed by a tolerance analysis and a bill of materials. The rowboat was CNC laser cut and assembled from planks of wood. Then, it was revised, CAD'ed in Solidworks, and 3D printed.
