Robot in 2 Days Gripper

By Anuhya, Sol, and Fernando

One major component of the intake system we designed during robot in two days was a pincer gripper claw. Attached to a linear slide outtake, there is a claw with two separate 3-d printed parts that pinches the specimen. This design worked fairly well and it effectively secures the samples. The second part to the intake system was a beater-bar to intake the samples from the field. The beater bar we built used rotating tubes to intake samples onto a platform. This was a simple design, but we are planning to add a color sensor and diverter to only keep the samples of the color we want to make the beater bar system more efficient.
