Design Challenge 7: Cardboard Automata

For this Design Challenge, we are required to design and fabricate a laser-cut cardboard automata

The demo video is here:

This is a fun project! I've seen different automate before and they are so well built, I never thought I could make one my self only with cardboard. The theme for this challenge is the deep sea. I designed an octopus shape automate, the hands will move upside and down while rotating the gears. But cardboard is not really good material for making automata, it is very fragile and hard to keep in one position.
