Description One simple machine in my Rob Ives mechanism was a wheel and axle. Its function is to help raise and lower a pole that is attached to the fish making the fish fly. When you twist the side handles the wheel turns in a circular motion. The next simple machine is another wheel and axle. This wheel and axle is leveled to the other one and it's also turns at the same time. Together they turn the base that holds the fish. As they turn the pole or base moves up and down along with the wheel and axle. Some difficulties are that my hands are big and i couldn't really fold some peaces. Also the instructions could have been more clear because they were very difficult to understand. My mechanism also broke because i was turning the wheel and axle to hard so maybe next time i will turn the wheel slower and i'll fold the pieces better.
