1:00: Break. Brainstorm end effector ideas with your machine group.
1:15: Distribute drawing machine kits. Begin assembly, CAD design for end effectors, etc.
Group Assignment:
Work with your team to build a 2+ DoF drawing machine.
Drawing machines will need to demonstrate:
- Ability to calibrate motor position (i.e. guarantee the "home" position is the same each time you power on the device)
- Precision: ability to draw a circle and mark its center point. Calculate percent error.
Machine projects will be due Thursday 7/31. Be prepared to do a live demonstration for the class.
Please consolidate documentation to a single page for your group. Include a ~30-second demo video of your machine.
