Project Report

During this project I contributed with elaborating the mechanical structure. First of all the parts of each axis. My team members and I started elaborating the “y” axis. We based on this axis, because in this one we incorporated the “X” and “Z” axis. I focused more on the design and construction of our structure, but I also helped making the electronic circuits that we will use when we demonstrate the Cartesian robot’s work. Contributing in each of the elements that we had to finish for this partial helped me because I obtained different knowledge from each subject. Working as a team helped our team, because we finished everything on time, and we were able to modify our mistaks and try to improvethe best we can our mechanical structure.
We worked as a team and we all tried to aport different things enable to make our team work better.
