Function Camping
How do I go about building a little random machine?
I decided that I need a hobby. I'm a college student that isn't doing much right now besides working. Therefore, I figure that I'm interested in technology and mathematics, so I'm thinking about making a little mechanical object - sort of like the machine shown in American Pie: Band Camp. That was the inspiration. Anyway, I'm not 100% sure of the function I want it to perform, but how do I go about starting to build one? Where can I find more information on this, and what is the name for one of these "gizmos". Thanks in advance.
Also, I have completed a college level Calculus class if that helps any, but I doubt it.
First you should decide what to to with that "gizmo" of yours in that way you'll know better how to make it, or build it from scratch. I've seen American Pie:Band Camp but I don't remember about any of these "gizmos". Anyway, if you look for some part of engineering you should orientate to construction, or machine engineering design and make, because that's a lot of math, physics, and a ton of calculus to be performed with strength of the construction.
Hope I was a little helpful with this.
