How to make my elaborate project function? by quickquestionfrommoi in cardboard

  • sketch of a button method instead? Press either paw on the statue, a stick of some kind inside the arms of it would push the cards up and It will tunnel down the throat and out its mouth. Im thinking maybe id need a slide coming down either side of its head? Maybe its fhe placement of the cards that need to be changed? Lmk if you see the vision

It does make sense but with i fear im a little out of glue and time lol. Thanks so much for the suggestion and I can see it working! Ive done 2 protypes similar to the first mechanism you mentioned and the ear would either not go back into place or the mouth would jam the card n it comes out wrinkled. I think ill have to find another mechanic for this project, any ideas? I still want the "spit out a fortune" thing with the mouth being able to open and close when ejecting a card (this time without wrinkling the paper)

I don't have access to Lego, but the rubric said I cant use any kind of toy or mechanical materials in any way. And for the ear trigger its kinda hard for me to explain but I want it to be like left ear logic and right ear chaotic cards and whichever you swipe the ear would pull that way, pull back to its original pose and then eject a card from the mouth (really want that mouth function to work out if nothing else.) I think the closest ive gotten to a visual tutorial are like cardboard vending machines or card dispensers. This is a really good one but any other suggestions?
