One of our most exciting goals was to make the Dalek’s head spin. Unfortunately, this turned out to be more complex than anticipated. Due to the mass of the Dalek’s head, the inertia caused our initial mechanism to fail under the load.
We’ve put this feature on hold for now, but we’re already brainstorming ways to redesign the mechanism with:
- Stronger materials
- Improved torque control
Even though this challenge set us back, it has been a valuable learning experience. On to the next phase: restoring the Dalek’s look for Freshers Fair!
