13 - Glass Window Cleaner

Team Members: Dillon Ding, Ian Hernandez, Cristofer Mazariegos, Manuel Salazar

Summary: 

We plan to create an automated window cleaner that can clean an entire surface in one sweep. While you might be able to learn the special wiping technique on your own, who wants to spend the time doing that? No more having to wipe your windows and be unsatisfied with the results! Using a geared 5-bar mechanism, alongside a rotating servo motor, we will recreate a figure eight path to reach the far corners of any window we come across.
