While I definitely bit off more than I could chew with this project for now, maybe you can complete it before I do!
Inspired by the Butter Passing Robot on the popular show Rick and Morty, I attempted to make a tabletop robot that would receive a command to retrieve salt or pepper and be able to do so and bring it back to your plate.

- Using a hot glue gun, glue the printed parts together. The names of the parts corelate to their position.
- Attach the 20KG Servo to the chassis of the tank motor.
- Attach the 3D Printed assembled head to the 20KG Servo.
- Wire the sensors and motors to the breadboard and Arduino Mega.
- Complete build setup.
- I could not get the 20KG Servo to function properly, so was unable to test the project out.
- Next Steps
- Get proper power to 20KG Servo and begin testing prototype.
- Add IR Remote for commands such as "Salt," "Pepper," or "Stop."
