September 24, 2003Created by: M. Campo3 BACKGROUND Traditional  Time Consuming  Risky  Messy Improved Method  Fun  Safer  Cleaner

September 24, 2003Created by: P'n'P Team4 PROBLEM TO DEVELOP AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT IS CAPABLE OF GETTING DATA FROM THE OPERATOR AND PLOTTING THE ENTERED TEXT ONTO VARIOUS SIZES OF POSTER-BOARD.

September 24, 2003Created by: P'n'P Team5 Functionality Goals  Make letters using a low resolution dot matrix.  Minimal model of “YARD SALE”  Only upper case letters  One size poster board

September 24, 2003Created by: M. Loiselle6 SOLUTION CROSSBREED BETWEEN A PRINTER AND A STATIONARY XY PLOTTER

September 24, 2003Created by: P'n'P Team7 SOLUTION  A GANTRY THAT WILL MOVE THE WRITING UTENSIL ONLY IN THE X DIRECTION AS IN A STATIONARY PLOTTER  A SET OF ROLLERS WHICH WILL FEED THE POSTER-BOARD THROUGH THE SYSTEM AS IN A PRINTER
