Future Work
In the initial idea generation and proposal, our concept for the project was to build a fully autonomous fishing rod that casts and reels in the fishing line. However, due to time constraints, we as a group decided to narrow our focus for the scope of the project. The team wanted to focus on creating a smooth casting motion with the bait on the end of the line. In the completed build assembly, the green button is included on the box design and is connected to the circuit. While the green button did not have a function, in the future this button could be programmed to reel in the line . after the fishing rod is cast. Other work in the future is redesigning the output link to not be a rigid acrylic link and instead more closely resemble a typical fishing rod with some bending in the line to better simulate the motion of a fishing rod.
