Mock Test (Practice question)

A design agency has designed a cartoon character to encourage students to wear goggles when using machines. A picture of the suggested character would be given out to you in the classroom by your teacher. The agency has developed a character called 'Safe Ed'. The design company intends to design a device that moves Ed's head up and down.

The suggested mechanism is contained within the box indicated in the handouts. When the handle is pressed, Ed's head moves upwards and then returns to its original position.

Complete the mechanism in Phun and submit your completed work in the shared folder. Name your file as:
