In this new project, my partner Jack and I will use the engineering design process to design and build a fully functional Skittles Sorter.
Project Goals:
Build an automated machine that sorts Skittles into correct bins based on their color.
Achieve at least 80% sorting accuracy.
Complete the design and testing within the given timeframe.
Publicly demonstrate our working device.
Skittles Sorter Project Brief.pdfTo do this, we will:
1) Develop a constraints/requirements list.
2) Manage time to meet deadlines.
3) Use existing and apply new coding skills.
4) Use and develop new OnShape Skills
5) Thoroughly document all steps/processes.
6) Demonstrate our functional devices publicly.
Glowforge
Glowforge
We used the Glowforge Laser cutter in order to print our cardboard designs out. We used it to create the sides of our skittle sorter and the inside.
Mu
Mu
We used Mu to create our code for our skittle sorter. We wrote our functions, if statements, and sequences in here.
3d Printer
3d Printer
We used the 3d printer to create our funnel and slide for our prototype. We also used it to create our funnel for our final project.
This is what Glowforge looks like before we print.
