Later, when more mechanism is done and it's ready to take over the world.... (cackles wildly)

I like that :)
Here's a pic of the back showing how simple it is, just a Y shaped bit of string!
I'm working on an improved mechanism now operated with rods, hoping get it to grasp the string automatically, that first off was just to prove the concept.

Hey Mr. Cat what are you doing ...
I looked at the vid again and again. Great, absolutely great.

Wanted to ask you seeing the back and found the pic after scrolling down. I'm astound the mechanism is just that simple.

Again super nice idea, thanks for sharing.

Derek, I posted link to your vid on my facebook. Some of those fb friends would like to see vid of the mech from the back. So ingenious!

The next version will have wheels and rigid levers rather than string, operated by winding a handle probably.
I'll do more vid as it progresses and keep you guys updated.
Thanks one and all for the enthusiastic reception  :)

Right when the automaton archers take over the world we'll know who to blame!   >:(
Fantastic design/craftmanship and the movement is so organic it's brilliant!  :)
