The
Wide-mouthed Frog is a rubber powered pantograph
mechanism entered in the 2001 Technogames 'high jump'
contest.
He
was built by Adrian Marshall and his family for
BBC2's Technogames,
an 'Olympics for robots' competition broadcast in
March 2001.
The
Wide-mouthed frog was designed to be as simple as
possible but to achieve maximum performance by
use of appropriate materials and attention to
detail.
