Tonight, we mainly focused on getting the spatula to pick up and deliver sacks to the tray.
So far, the spatula has no problem picking up the sacks, but, the delivery is somewhat of an issue. It will be resolved the next time we get a chance to work on it. (Most likely not this Saturday)
The spatula is being powered by a 1:5 ratio using 2 269 motors.
For the next meeting, we plan on trimming the top of the spatula arm and adding something in the front of the base to prevent sacks from entering the base.
Spatula Bot:
The robot itself did not receive much mechanical work. The main focus was on programming autonomous. The students working on this bot also added a limit switch that will trigger when it reaches the underside of the trough. Unfortunately, there were no videos taken.
