TastingFeet: Behavioral Quirks to Mechanical Systems

I intend to discuss the motivation and development of my robot Noodle's "Tasting Feet" from conceptual drawing to the production of functioning mechanical systems. These systems include 3D printed retractable gripping toes, a central darting silicon tongue, and its ability to excrete a controlled amount of fluid. I will discuss the nuance of my designs and their iterations, highlighting failures and solutions as I worked towards the final apparatus.
