excessive accelerations or velocities.Also it must be as compact as possible,since space is limited.Continuous rotary input and full pin joints are preferred. Project 7:Dunk fling The student section of ASME is sponsoring a spring fling on campus. They need a mechanism for their"Dunk the Professor"booth which will carry the unfortunate (untenured)volunteer into and out of the water tub. The contestants will provide the inputs to a multiple-DOF mechanism.If they know their kinematics,they can provide a combination of inputs which will dunk the victim. Project 8: The National House of Flapjacks wants to automate their flapjack production.They need a mechanism which will automatically flip the flapjacks"on the fly"as they travel through the griddle on a continuously moving conveyor.This mechanism must track the constant velocity of the conveyor,pick up a pancake,flip it over and place it back onto the conveyor.excessive accelerations or velocities.
