Cocktail Umbrella Gripper

General Description

Notes:

  • I think we need a cherry (or similar) attached to the umbrella to add some weight, otherwise the umbrella can fall out of the glass. (If so, the cherry conveyor could be re-purposed for olives?)

Mounting & hardware

A couple of 4mm holes are provided for mounting the mechanism. It needs to be mounted such that the umbrella falls and hooks onto the side the glass.

Logical

To be confirmed. May use a L298N dual H-bridge (a bit over the top, but in common with other mechanisms).

Connections

  • +12V
  • Ground
  • RELEASE

Power

+12V, 2A
