FEAR-O-BOT 3000

“Design something in Solidworks using at least fifteen parts”

A toy that takes a darkly humorous look at generalized anxiety disorder.  Featuring moving wheels, punching arms, turning head, opening and closing mouth, swinging tail, and missile launching eyes.

GOLDBERG WARS: A NEW RUBE

“Design and animate a Rube Goldberg machine in Solidworks with at least four mechanisms”

I adapted the opening scenes of Star Wars: A New Hope into a ball-based Rube Goldberg machine that chronicles the journey of RD-D2 and C-3PO from the Tantive IV blockade runner to Luke Skywalker’s home on Tatooine.

The video above was modeled and animated in Solidworks by Ben Chung using Gravity and Contact settings.  All Star Wars properties, music, etc. are owned by Disney, and I do not intend to profit from this work.
