Whipped Cream Green 3 Adrian Hanson

Our whipped cream project was rushed into finalization. The team did not expect to be given such a severe deadline when we walked in on Wednesday. Our design from the previous class we decided was a failure and we looked to the machine built by the other class for inspiration. Interestingly enough this design was very similar to my original plans. The only differences being the nozzle was pulled with more a pulley system and there was a lot more duct tape. We had Daniel help in building the basket to hold the can in place. We attached the motor to the side of the box supports with duct tape. After several trial runs we realized some new things. For one, we recorded the correct setting for the motor so it would pull the nozzle correctly. We also did away with the gate, because the whipped cream dispensed before the robot even reached it. After we decided all the kinks were worked out we ran the test for the final time. Victory never tasted so good.
