One of our school’s past automata entries, “The Secret Formula”, was briefly featured in the Mediacorp's Channel 8 TV Programme “Super Family 2 (超级一家2)”, Episode 2. The automaton, created by a team of 4 students, was one of the top winning entries in the Toy Design Competition (TDC) 2014 organised annually by Singapore Polytechnic's School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering.

Fast forward the video to 15:40 minutes and observe how the automaton was brought to life with the turning of the crank to produce the desired movements.
