  • description: Leonardo designed this programmable automaton car for a theatrical effect around 1478. The original was designed to be driven by energy stored in a pair of flexible bows - like a torsion spring. Pegs could be inserted or removed to provide a predetermined timing for direction changes. The model is available from Academy Hobby Models.
