To begin the project, we cut pieces of wood to build the overall frame of the forearm which were then sectioned off into 5 parts for their own respective motors (to control each finger).

Once the frame was built and pulleys were attached to the motors, we glued the 3D printed hand to the top of the frame.

We then commenced attaching string from pullies on the motors to their designated fingers. We drilled holes in the bottom portion of the hand to feed the string through.

Next, we continued attaching the rest of the string to their fingers and glued them in place. We then fastened additional rubber bands to back of the hand so that after a finger is bent, it snaps back into place more efficiently.

Subsequently we started working on the base of the Project. We also added 2 larger motors with the intent to turn the entire arm to reciprocate a ~High Five~ motion and glued a large shaft comprised of 3 wooden pieces to hold up the arm.

Once that was complete, we attached the arm to the base and begun programming the fingers!

Finally, once we had perfected our program for finger movement, we added the final piece which was the Ultrasonic Sensor so that it would ~High Five~ when it picked up an object in close proximity.

And there you have it! Our Comptech summative, lets now explore the actual functions of the robot and what it can do, shall we..?!
