Egg Tossers

March 19, 2008
Help the Easter Bunny by getting the eggs in the basket.
Build an egg tosser.

Build a base.  Add 2 plates and a beam on top so that black friction connectors can fit

into holes on a vertical beam.  Build a arm.  Place it in the upright and add a rubber band.

An add requirement is to build a push button to set off the egg.
Push on the left and the catch on the right comes out.

There are many ways to make a push button.



A clever way to have a button  is to use a parallelogram.

Push in the bottom a and the catch pin pulls out.

Now to make it work.

10 times out of 10.
