Clay Extruded Facade

As a team consisting of myself, John Braun, Renzo Eseo and David Skupwe, we built a clay extruder. We learned how moving the robot arm at different speeds impacted how fast the clay came out and whether it stayed still or moved too much, just like decorating a cake with an icing tip. We also learned which types and consistencies of clay worked best. Air pockets and water were other factors. Please see this pdf file for a full report on the project.
