Snacks are little cubes. Cubes have different colors representing different snacks.
We got two color sensors and four infrared sensors to dectect the color and position of snacks!
User IDs are encoded by 4 notches on cards, which are detected by these switches.
This is how it works.
Install a sideway and a motor.
Not perfect now. Still need to tune.
We put some vivid yummy cakes on the top, though they are made of plastics.
It scans all positions to see how many are left. Then we let it push over everything.
It is searching the snack our user asked, then pushes it out.
At the exit, there is a distance sensor. We do not offer you anything if you leave.
"Have fun."
