My contributions include: the general system design for our toilet paper dispensing system (a motorized feeder roller and follower mechanism), modeling and 3D printing the holder for our motor, and helping to prototype, refine, and iterate the system. Also: documentation! I wrote our team's documentation (just for the dispensing system - other teams wrote their own overviews.)
