The motivation behind this project was to sort recyclable materials more accurately, to ensure that the different materials did not end up in the wrong locations of a recycling plant and cause damage to the machines.
For the computing sub-team, we were supposed to write a computing program in Python to transfer random containers to corresponding bins from a sorting station. We needed to choose at least one sensor for the Q bot to finish the loop. We need to write codes to control the Q-arm to pick up containers. We have a limit of 90 grams that can be put onto the Q-bot. Also, the Q-bot must follow the given yellow line and stop at the correct bin, then dump containers and continue to return to the home position. In the end, each container should go to its corresponding bin.
