We made a Robotic Arm. This arm is unlike any other. It is programmed to take blocks from a chute and place them into a bin. We had some difficulties in programming this arm. The commands were mixed up and our arm procedure did not move the right direction. We solved this problem rather quickly. We found out that the problem was in a different procedure. When we completed this project it was very interesting. We plan on adding a light sensor which will detect which bin it should place each block. Below you will find the procedures we used in our project.
