Whipped Cream, Green 3, Tony D'Arienzo

It was an intense hour and a half redesigning our whipped cream dispenser, and every group was working to get their station ready.  By the end of that grueling time period, every station, especially the whipped cream dispenser, finally worked. We went back to a design similar to our original design, and it worked perfectly. With help from quite a bit of duct tape, the robot was able to dispense the whipped cream without flaws. Looking back on the project, it was a very interesting challenge that required a lot of time and patience. It also required creative thinking and problem solving skills. We combined those skills and requirements to finally finish the job. Communicating with the other groups was another part of completing the task. We communicated with the conveyor group often because that group was the key group. If that group could not relay their plan with us, then our device would not work. In the end, our groups were on the same page, and as a result, the whole sundae line worked very well. There were still a few flaws with the system. The flaws included the conveyor robot not being able to roll back over objects and the conveyor robot being knocked off course, among others. These flaws were small and did not really affect the sundae line’s performance. Overall, the project was good, and it was a success for every group. This class was a great class, and I will never forget this final project.
