Acknowledgements:
We would like to thank a couple of key individuals who helped us complete our project.
First, Conner, who gave us great advice throughout. Specifically on how to simplify our mechanism from an 8-bar to a 4-bar at the beginning and in our calculations to implement a gear system becasue our can-opener was not outputting enough force with our motor by itself.
Joe from the TIW machine shop. He helped us while we were iterating through our end-effector peiece and ultimatley saved the day with the machined end-effector piece he customized for us in our final build.
