laundry folder without electronics
My project has a back story.
so, my room has the balcony of the house and all the laundry ends up in my room, so i wanted to make something that can fold the laundry that takes less time and effort.
My project is a simple laundry folder that is made using arduino and 6 servo motors and a simple structure.

2- The project idea and general features. How would it work?
so, a simple laundry folder works as follows; you put the shirt on that board and then you start folding the boards and take a folded shirt at the end.
My idea is to put motors and sensors so that when i put the shirt on the board it folds it by itself.
it has been done before and i got inspired by this video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhWaHSUVGco
This is the model that has been done in the video but i inted to make it somhow simpler and also functional.

3- My project scetch:
so this is mu imagination for the electronics places, i put two motors in each board so that it would be easier to lift and the weight woud'nt load the motors so much, i thought of maybe doing a gear ratio to make it easier for the motor but i want to discuss this further.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
