This is one project where seeing is believing.
No text description does it adequate justice.
(A video is among the posted project files,
so you can see the machine in action.) The Balloon
Flower Machine, constructed from salvaged and
recycled materials, is basically a big contraption
whose sole function is to emulate the process
and skills of a balloon modeler. A Z8 Encore!®-based
controller directs the considerable quantity
of motorized machinery and levers to perform
all the bending and folding necessary to sculpt
balloons into the shape of a flower. It is a
Rube Goldberg to behold and a video file to
really enjoy. More information on this project
is available at www.designiris.com/xbfm.htm.
