    Cross Country Runner Kinetic Sculpture

    Hello and welcome to my entry.  I have chosen to represent the sport of cross country with my automata.  I myself am a cross country runner at my high school and have always felt that cross country is one of the more under-represented sports in the high school scene, so I hoped this project may bring it out into the limelight a bit.  Below I have included a demo of the runner in motion (and I apologize in advance for the quality, I'm not the best at this sort of thing).


    The functionalities of this model include a crank to make the runner's legs, well... run.  Also, with the removal of just a couple pins in the feet, and a few bricks on the back the runner can be separated from the whole of the mechanism and act as a posable figure!  With 13 points of articulation, this runner can be posed for his pre-race stretches, planks, and crunches.  Thanks for viewing my project and have a great day!
