Pill problem

Friday, January 7th, 2022

The suction tube is able to reliably pick up the small pills in the container, but often has difficulty picking up the larger pills. This is largely due to the random configuration of pills in the container. If one pill is at the top of the pile, the suction tube can pick it up without a problem. However, if the suction tube tries to pick up a pill that is partially covered, there is not enough force to lift that pill as well as the one on top of it.

To solve this problem, a stronger air pump could be used. However, due to the additional cost, it will not be included in this prototype.
