“Automatic” Juggling Machine

The “Automatic” Juggling Machine is for all those who have wanted to juggle but for the life of them simply cannot. Using simple principles of momentum, a ball is loaded into one cup, the machine is wound, and the machine spins, throwing the ball, and (attempting to) catching it.

Children interact with it by just loading a ball and winding it up. It does not work for eternity, and as it begins to slow down it sill stop catching and tossing the ball.

Made out of a plastic housing with plastic arms and plastic cups, the machine is safe for children of all ages. The ball itself is very small however, and so it is not recommended for small children. The winding mechanism in the back is the same and nearly all wind-up toys, which means it is a relatively easy construction.
