Knife Car

The Tomy Car has a very complicated mechanism, once you push the button on the top of the clowns head the suspension jumps up from front to back the doors close and then it moves forward this is all controlled by springs.

For my weapon to be successful I need to choose a way to integrate it into this mechanism, so i thought that the best way would be to use a cog which drives the back wheels and hangs low to the bottom of the car. I will cut away the plastic which covers this so that it is open i will then make a track for this cog to run in and attach this to a knife made of sheet metal, I will attach bent metal rods to bottom of the car to hold the knife and track in place. Once completed when the car moves forward at the end of the mechanisms cycle a knife will also be revealed for use.
