I think all of us take it as read that our ancestors would have been amazed to see some of our present-day technology. I didn't think I could be equally amazed looking back at an example of theirs.

A member of our MES has several automatons. The complexity of some is amazing. Clearly not in that class but not so vey far off, with some of them.

Amazing, here is a 200 year old one of a Japanese warrior who takes an arrow from his quiver, notches it on the string & shoots it, if I recall correctly the things mechanism is mostly made of wood

Love the head & eye movement.

You watch, someone will make a cnc version.

Genius!

Programmable, Slick mechanism that must have taken some serious ingenuity. Amazing.

[Tim StevensParticipant @timstevens64731]

Not only a cnc version, I expect a series of 3D printed commercial copies.

Cheers, Tim
