Figure 7.1: An animated visual showing the deformation of the hook-like mechanism when in use, stretching wider when in the arm pushes the bag inside

While acceptable for the purpose of our demonstrationit allows the mechanism to apply the necessary friction forces on multiple sides of the bag, this deformation will result in the part breaking over time due to the amount of force being exerted on the hook-like mechanism exceeding the hook-like mechanism's acceptable threshold. This problem was slightly alleviated by removing the infill of the bottom row (as seen in Figure 7.1), but the issue is still present regardless and would be worth looking into in a future revision.

 Adding Adding these features onto our pre-existing preexisting design could give our mechanism a niche in terms of food processing and could be worth looking into as part of a future revision.
