Conclusion for Clown Mechanism

Given more time, we could have improved upon the robot by creating a robust input and output mechanism. This proved difficult to add at the end. If we had started planning for it from the beginning and included the setup in the solidworks model, it would have been a lot easier to implement. If we were going to build the robot again, we would definitely keep that in mind. The feedback loop would have also helped a great deal. As it stands the motion of the robot is very loosely "juggling." It could have been much more believable had we fixed the velocity profile.
