ENGR 200 Semester Project
Introduction
For my final project for my ENGR 200 class at WCU, me and a partner had to design a robot that could retrieve several ping pong balls from a hole in a table and move them to the other side of the table. Some of the goals for this project were to make a working robot, and the relevant constraints were the size, what we could use, and the time we had to complete the project. We created a design that utilized a crane and pincer at the end (Figure 1 and 2). When we realized that it would not work, we created a design where a scooper would retrieve the balls and then act as a jack to angle the body and let the balls roll in (Figure 3 and 4). Our final design used an arm that would scope the balls high enough to roll over the end ramp (Figure 5).
