Desription: For this project, we were told to make a machine that would dispense candy from a wooden box. In our design, we have to use a tool that would spin so the candy could be distributed- so we used a Micro bit and Servo.
Brain storm: We immediately knew that we wanted to use laser cutting because it takes much less time to print out. We built our design in TinkerCad and then cut it. We made many rough drafts in TinkerCad before we cut our final idea.
Procedure: First, we started creating our design for the candy dispenser. Then, we cut some of our first pieces. After correcting some of our mistakes on the build, we recut and started assembling. On our 4th day, we started by realizing that one of our main pieces was too long and we had to redesign it. We kept recutting and reassembling until our final product was done.
S: i think our project was strong because we used wood and alot of glue. but we had many struggles along the way.
O: we shouldnt have left the microbit to the last minute. it took up alot of time , and that was the cause of most of our problems.
U:we shouldove been a bit more cautious with our time. we left alot of theings to the last second.
L: one of our only limitiations was at the end. we couldnt fit the microbit in the holw in the wood.
wiscr: we were self motivated and we were clear communicaters. we all helped each other and learned what stratiges worked
