Hey there, how you doing? So here on the left we have my pin dispenser, and what pin dispenser does is dispense buttons like this one that I am wearing right now. All you have to do is press this button right here, and when you press this button it will select a random one of these three towers you see, and it will dispense a pin at you. These pins are from the robotics team at our school. Any questions?

Here, we have our very own Button Badge Dispenser for the 852 Robotics team, and the way that it works is when you press this button, one of these three random towers will be selected. So, to demonstrate, you press the button. You press the button and which it dispenses the pin, and the rest of the pin inside all file down. So, it is pretty much a repetitive process allowing for multiple presses. Of course once you remove the pin itself. So what the pin is, is pretty much two parts. It is a holder of the pin that is 3D printed, so that it slides very easily with the wood. And then the pin itself, which can be attached. This is all been laser cut and then glued together using hot glue, and it is powered, as you can see, with three servo motors. Which are all connected with an inside mechanism with a slider and a spinning wheel. Then over here we have a button which is connected to an Arduino, and the Arduino has code that will randomly select one of the towers to activate the servos.
