20220130_215430.mp4A cereal dispenser run with a Vex servo motor and an Arduino microcontroller. I was going to post this as an example of Vex parts; however, I can see I also used Erector set parts, Legos, a printed part, and what ever was lying around. It runs backwards a bit to keep it from jamming. Actually, I think I should add a more powerful motor than the Vex Servo to keep it from jamming.
