The Compliant Mechanisms Research Lab has worked with Mark Rober and his team to create the world's smallest functional Nerf blaster. Watch his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c2NqlUWZfo and find the files to print the blaster here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6242990.
We also wanted to make a version that did not look like a gun, and this disk launcher is the result. Not only is the disk launcher a lot of fun for anyone, but we hope it might be particularly useful for teachers or others to use Mark Rober’s video to teach principles of engineering.
