The Final Challenge

The final challenge for this module is to rig together three MecLab Units.

This is a photo of the model that we will be pursuing.

This project will last through Spring Break and will conclude when the machine is complete.

This machine should do the following:


  • Use a magazine stack as a start point (with mixed black and silver work pieces)
  • The machine must sort the silver work pieces into one direction.
  • The machine must take the black work pieces and move them to another pile with the pneumatic arm.
