Strandbeest Rocket Launcher [Fireworks]

First of all, I don't necessarily recommend that you attempt to duplicate this project, but how I made this contraption is in the video above.

The important elements are:

• Nitinol wire - to get hot enough to ignite fuse

• Lever Nuts - hold the Nitinol wire in place. Really impressed with these as they hold very securely and can work with 12-28 AWG wire.

• 3D Printed frame to hold the electronics and fit in between the 'beests legs

• Arduino Nano and relays used for control

• Strandbeest kit

Step 1: Files

Here is the Arduino and 3D printing files that I used.

Neither is optimized, so use at your own discretion.
