Machine Design

 

  • Automate your machine
  • Document the group project and your individual contribution

The idea of this project arose because Ivan was 6 years old when his uncle gave her a game which was a wooden board with spikes in wich you can make figures with rubber bands. This project wants to resume this type of recreational games for children to see how the games can go hand in hand with technology and can evolve with these customs without leaving aside.

 

Therefore, another idea to use the same principle, which involves placing colored pipes to create figures.

 

First, the structure was made in mdf for strength and easy assembly, based on the example of FabAcademy

 

The main problem was the actuator to place the tubes were inexpensive and easy to perform, raising the idea of generating friction and gravity let them fall to the base.

Even lacking improvements in control for measuring the position and achieve correctly move the actuator without the tubes fall out, but the project is working as expected.
