The Conveyor
The heart of Simon’s invention is the scooper. As explained before I implemented the idea in the model using a combination scooper-conveyor. For the conveyor I made a few of the parts on the 3D printer (rollers, brackets, motor retaining ring) and used two gears for my junk pile as well as a small miniature gear motor. The video shows the first successful test of the roller driving the mechanism.
