Gold 2- Reeses Pieces Group- Lucas Isbill 2


Today we first had to adjust the time after it dispensed so it wouldn’t dispense a second time on the conveyor’s return run. We also adjusted the ultrasonic sensor’s distance to make it more sensitive to the bowl. As we tested it more, it continually jammed. To fix this problem we decided to add an extra motor that would flick the container after the dispense of the Reese’s pieces. This meant we had to remove the awesome lamps. On the program we removed the lamps and added a new motor block to move the flicker and unjam the container. It would still occasionally jam. We then changed the design using rubber bands to manage weight and removed a tire to remove potential sticking area. And we’re done!
