Description:
|
These walking toys are pulled forward by a weighted
string that hangs over the edge of the table. When the toy gets close
enough to the edge of the table, the vector no longer pulls forward; instead,
it pulls straight down. The toy stops walking at this point.

and fall over a rounded edge.
