The prototype for the mechanical design has been decided on and construction of the prototype has begun. Apologize for not having any pictures of the actual prototype, just the sketch.
The main idea of the prototype consist of two towers which will hold the blocks. At the top there is a platform where the colour of the blocks will be determined. then deposited into one of the towers, the colour will then be stored into an array for use in dispensing.
The towers will dispense into one of two bins, one for recycling, and one for collecting by the customer. The will be dispensed using a arm attached to a servo.
At the moment, that is all i know regarding the mechanical build.
