I know we've already finalized our projects, but I wanted to share this neat automaton I saw that uses similar mechanisms to the ones we've played with. It mimicks a water drop like so:

Wow. Super cool! The mechanism is so simple, but the effect is really cool. I guess it must have taken a bit of iteration to get it calibrated precisely as it is though.
