hello everyone
i mean (myself and professor mason probably)
ok so after about two weeks of procrastinating now i have to do all the blogs that i have missed since last blog update
so here we go
on tuesday february 8th me and my partner ben mainly worked on the arm structure of the bot
and we eventually came up with this design
in this design instead of adding an arm to grasp the can we just hold the can inside
and the reason that we decided to do this is because this way we wont hit the can with the extended arms and drop and also it is simpler coding to just detect the can and moving towards it rather than stoping at a certain distance from it and holding with an arm
to detect wether the can is inside the bot we added a switch in front of where the battery is
this way when the can pushes the switch's button the bot will realize that it has the can and it will continue to put that can in the matching color zone.
the part with the curved bars is like a revolving door that can hold the can from getting out of the bot and also it can be used to kick out the unwanted cans.
