Project Description:

I was to create and animate a pendulum that slowly swings back and forth, all while lowering down towards the fruit.

I had to start with the pendulum up high and the switch “activating” to the down position. Use the gears to make it look like

the pendulum mount is lowering after every swing. Once the blade is low enough to make contact, have the watermelon slice in half. 

 

Each swing of the pendulum needs to show less energy. The end of the animation should show the pendulum either coming to a complete stop or swinging very little and very slowly.
