Assembly Line Class Challenge


Overview
  • In this challenge we were tasked with building an assembly line to put numbered dots onto a cube. (dice)
  • My specific group of Nick and I were instructed to be group 4 and mark side "3".
  • We had to move the dice from the recieving point to the drop off point.
  • During this time we had to mark the die in some way
  • We used motors to stop the track and to move a red pronged thing to mark the die.
