On of my projects in my engineering class was to use Fusion360 to design an Automata Box
 On of my first projects to work on using Fusion360 was on an automata box. An automata box is a mechanical structure that can tell a story through movements using cams and levers. I wanted to showcase two ice skaters on an ice rink spinning in a circle. However, the basic cams given to us by the professor were not able to turn vertical motion into rotational motion. Using what I have learned, I designed a custom-made sunflower cam that was able to be use to create a rotation. I was one of few in the class that utilized horizontal motion in my automata box and one of fewer who custom designed a cam for this occasion.

As this was one of my first time using Fusion360, I learned how to do many different things. I learned how to add components to an overall model as well as use specific joints to get the motion I wanted. In additon, I learned how to join two componets to move togehter using the cams as connections.
