Today the first thing I did was help with the Magic Wheelchair project, we were getting it ready to be painted before the due date on Friday. I was going to do the Tardis project, but instead I decided tho change my project to the claw machine. I spent a lot of time looking for different links and stuff to either buy the gantry or to buy the parts for the machine. So far the most helpful links are:
https://www.instructables.com/id/Low-Cost-Hobby-Servo-XY-Table/
https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/xy-gantry-robot.html
https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Claw-Machine/
I got sidetracked with making a mini electromagnetic motor which wasn't working in the end, and then I went back to looking for links. It's probably going to be easier to buy the gantry but the "standard" sizes are either too big or kinda awkwardly small. I still haven't completely learned how to use the stepper motors that the gantries run on, I've mostly used the steam clown links to research them but we're supposed to be learning how to use them later in class anyway.
