Labs:
Work on the group machine building assignment. By next week's lab, make sure that you can control the machine's locomotion.
Meet with Bobby to discuss Wokwi quiz results.
Group Assignment:
Work with your [team](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZBWiNdqdTK6IP4tdI9I8Gu-VUYGu3HmGd-Q0FT4GVrU/edit?usp=sharing) to build a 2+ DoF drawing machine. Your team is encouraged to only minimally deviate from the example hardware and software. However, you should design and implement a new end-effector.
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 after next. Be prepared to do a live demonstration for the class. After demonstrations, we will open voting for "students' choice awards" in the categories of (1) sophistication of drawing output (2) novelty of end-effector / drawing technique. Winning teams will be awarded perfect scores for the assignment. Vote here!
Please consolidate documentation to a single page for your group. Include a ~30-second demo video of your machine.
