Sourced CAT5e for more flexibility with Dobot motion. Wired new JST connectors. Dobot interfaces with HMI and PLC and sends signal.
Made Fanuc IO functional

Chuck helped me with the Fanuc program, I got it working good but we only had half the claw on while testing it. We got another printed but the size is off so it won't work with the one remaining side. The claw no longer grabs the cup. The program will probably need to be adjusted when we get the claw to work. Rick brought in his hole saw kit so I was able to drill the holes in the plywood. Adrian got the 3D printer working and printed more claws, so I put them on the Fanuc and almost got it to grab the cup. The claw shifts when it hits the cup so I will need to fix that somehow.

The claw broke once more so we got another one hopeful that it wont break

got the makerbot working and the stl file was obtained
printed out two extra sets of prototypes
thinking of maybe 3d printing a nozzle instead of having hoses hanging out of the wood structure.
