The goal of this project is to work with others in my robotics class to properly assemble a burger. All of the robotic arms are put on a track and each person is responsible for one item in the track. My item is bacon. I have to grab the bacon using my robotic arm and place the bacon on the burger for two pieces of bacon. They also must be in a cross shape. Then, the next person responsible for the next ingredient will go, and so on.
The main part to design here is the end effector on the arm which will do all the grabbing.
For this design, the length of the grabbers was a bit too long, and there was a major issue that the pieces of bacon would not be able to be placed on a cross shape. But I did like how I positioned the gears.
I now use two servo motors to be able to turn my bacon pieces in a cross shape.
After coming up with this new design, I began working on my code and achieving this motion, which I work on today.
