MAS.863 Machine Design

Team Machine

Our whole section was given a group project this week: Design a machine.

  • Task: Use the provided motion axes and control system to move an end effector of your team's design on well-defined paths.
  • Tools: Gestalt framework, Python, paint, brushes, hot glue.

Our team made a 2-axis painting machine. Its documentation can be found here.

My contribution to the machine was code; I helped with debugging the zeroing issue which was preventing the software from running in one call (its execution needed to be split up into zeroing and path-tracing before my contribution).
