For the Kinetic Creatures Project, we created a peacock out of cardboard. The body consists of 8 pieces that are stacked together vertically to make the shape of the peacock. We were able to use the Rhino software and the laser cutter to create our own pieces that were derived from our own imagination. We were able to make a stand for the peacock with information we learned from tutorials in class. the mechanical element of the peacock is a combination of a drawstring bag and a paper fan. the cardboard feathers are attached by a string that when it pulled up, the feathers come together. When the string is released, the feathers spread out like a fan.
