Robotic Assembly Line Class Challenge

For my and Ryan's assembly line challenge project, we were to print the number "2" on the dice. Beause the numbers 2 and 4 are on opposite sides of the cube, we combined our project with the group that was to print the number "4" on the cube (Gustavo and Nick Robles). From there we worked together to make a machine that could print the numbers 2 and 4 on opposite sides of the cube, with a very high success rate that was able to print the numbers 2 and 4 on all six of the die.

Here is a picture of our skethed design of our project:

How we solved the problem: We solved the problem using the Fischertechnik parts and the motors that are included. We used photoresistors and motors to the measure the light and with the values command the motors to turn and thus a red piece pushed the dice on both sides.


Here are the team challenges we got:
"Flash of Inspiration" - Brainstorm a solution for your section of the assembly line with a sketch.
"If you Build It..." - Implement a solution for your section of the assembly line.
"Proof is in the Pudding" - Implement a solution for your section of the assembly line that successfully operates with adjacent sections.
"Round and Round We Go" - Iterate on your initial implementation. Explain the challenge you discovered off the first effort and what you did to overcome it.
"Round and Round We Go... Again" - Iterate again on your implementation. Explain the next challenge you discovered with your design and what you did to solve it.
"Leave no Trace" - Return your fischertechnik to their appropriate storage locations/clean your work space.

My own individual achievements that I received are:
"Share It" - Provide feedback (Sustain, Change, Question, Idea) for another team. Who did you provide feedback to and what was it? We provided feedback with our surrounding groups (Nikki and Morgan, and Jon Henry and Nick Wiley), because we had to coordinate how our projects would be compatible with one another.
"Keep the Customer in Mind" - Your blog post is formated in a readable, professional manner. Writing is short and concise. Spacing is used to break up thoughts/concepts. Lists and/or bullet points are used as appropriate. No "monolithic" paragraphs.
"Nice One!" - Identify a student from outside of your team that was most helpful to your efforts. Be specific about how they were helpful. Marco helped us with aligning the drop to transfer the dice to the following team.
"Helping Hand" - List a student that you helped outside of your team. How were you helpful to them? I helped Jon Henry get his part of the assembly line set up when he needed a lot of help.
"And the Winners Are..." - Recognize class participation by selecting one person other than yourself for each of our five activity awards (Initiative, Sportsmanship, Collaboration, Humor, ...what's the fifth one we have up on the board?!) Improvisation is the fifth one we have on our board. Initiative - Gustavo. Sportsmanship - Jon Henry. Collaboration - Nikki. Humor - Robles.
