$#!T HAPPENS
Abstract:
The world stood at the brink. Wario had stuffed the royal toilet. Princess Peach was as usual, in another castle. The most excellent plumbers the world has ever seen, Mario and Luigi were called in to fix the problem. They ran in circles taking turns plumbing as plumbers had never plumbed before, but to no avail. Even their trusty plumbing song, Yellow Submarine had no effect. Now they call upon you to observe their royal efforts… look closely and maybe you can see what the problem is…
This custom-designed automata involved a variety of tools and efforts to create. The gear system was custom designed using AutoCad and cut using a laser cutter. The aluminum housing for the music box was machined in the shop. The music box was also anodized to change it from an unappealing gray to a cool pink.
