Simulated machine

This is the first and probably only "simulated machine" you can make in Hiber without joints. It doesn't do much, but it is simulated using physics! The machine converts rotational motion into linear motion. The rotating cam could for example be driven by a water wheel. Then a heavy "head" could be attached to the end of the wooden beam, turning it into a massive automated hammer. Just watch your fingers! See "Trip Hammer" for some historical use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_hammer Also: If we had joints we could build much crazier things than this. So please write "We want joints!" in the comments to tell my amazing colleagues you want to build crazy machines. ⚙👨‍🔬
