-
Minimum Viable Product
- Fast
- Cheap to operate
- Tapeless design
- No part bin filling;large variety and quantity of parts in integrated storage
- Just Hit Print Style Operation
- Works with one or more robotic arms
- integrates well with a small conveyor belt
Basic Design
Robotic Arm
- Used to move the end effectors around the circuit
- Can be quite small due to the light nature of its work
- We may want it to bo faster than the usual so it can jut around the cicruit board
