Dropping Mechanism

(Aleckzander Delahay)

Construction

Created outer wall of chamber

Added holes for inserting water bottles and for zipties to attach to drone

Added supports to hold water bottles in place while lower platform rotates

Final chamber in PrusaSlicer before printing

Base of chamber had to be removed to insert rotating platform; this base will be attached later

Basic form of rotating platform

Added divot for servo to fit into to rotate

Added notches to put bearings on platform for easier rotation and less friction -- ended up scrapping this idea

Final rotating platform in PrusaSlicer before printing

After printing all pieces and assembling

Used hot glue to attach base
Shaved down bearing notches-- bearings slipped off track, notches were in the way

Closer look at base and how it was attached
