In terms of mechanical design, we went from a basic design and CAD from the prototype and mechanical analysis section to implementing a mechanical design. Our design considerations from the prototype to this mechanical design were the following, including our brainstorming and design process:
- The base for the mechanism
- Mounting the motor
After getting advice from Conner and researching motor accessories, we decided on a motor coupler and L-bracket.
- Connecting linkages
- Aesthetic design for the intended audience
