Week 6: Team discussion on new design approach

At this week we are doing a research on how the mechanic system of the new design for our project should work. We are focusing on the linear motor that could be use to the 'plate' on the rail to the specific spot.

We are looking to do something like what is in the video below.

However the design that we have at the moment require two directions of the plate to move, vertically and horizontally. The plate will need to translate from on axis to another. And this is the problems we are facing. The question how to translate the plate between the two axes. We found the video a video of an intersection linear motor. As below.

However this would not be able to translate the plate between the two rails. At this moment we are still struggle on how to make the system works.
