Vexcookietopper

The document describes a Vex project to automatically place Hershey kisses on cookies. The project was designed to reduce the time and costs of manually placing kisses atop cookies. The Vex machine uses RobotC code to control two motors to move a cookie into position and place a kiss on top before moving the cookie along. The project met all objectives and the students learned how to program motors and manage their time on the project.

ABSTRACT
In this project our objectives were very simple. To create a Vex Machine that will automatically place
hershey kisses on top of cookies coming by. We accomplished everything accordingly. We are not
supposed to interfere with it at all , we are supposed to let the machine do everything.

DESIGN BRIEF
Client Company:

Stony Point

Target Consumer:

Cookie Company's

Problem Statement:

It takes too long and costs too much to pay a


certain individual to place a hershey atop a
cookie.

Design Statement:

We are going to build a machine that


automatically moves cookie and places a
hershey kiss on top of it.

Constraints:

Machine must operate automatically, time,


cost

ROBOTC CODE FOR FINAL SOLUTION

task main()
{
startMotor (port2, 20); //start motor one moving at 20 speed
wait (1.5);
//wait 1 second and a half
stopMotor (port2);
//stop Motor 1
wait (2);
//wait 2 seconds
startMotor (port3, 20);
//start motor 2 at 20 speed
wait (1);
//wait 1 second
stopMotor (port3);
//stop motor 2
startMotor (port2, 20); //start motor 1 at 20 speed
wait(1.5);
//wait 1 second and a half
stopMotor (port2);
// stop motor 1
}

ESULTS AND

CONCLUSIONS

All objectives were accomplished accordingly. Some suggestions may be to include more project to be
ready for the marble sorter. Also maybe increasing the time on some projects as they may have been
harder. This project could spread onto engineering programs all across the world. Initially our project
was going all sorts of directions but then we figured out how to program it using older projects. We
learned how to manage our time and further deepened our information on controlling motors.
