I was responsible for designing the bending subsystem, with a focus on balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability. To address these challenges, I developed a mechanism incorporating a steel moment arm and pressure die, integrated with a linear actuator and coupler. This approach provided the necessary force and precision for bending operations while avoiding reliance on a large, high-cost motor. By leveraging the mechanical advantage of the moment arm and ensuring proper integration between components, I was able to maintain the project within scope and budget while still meeting the required functional performance
