The final model was crafted from an aluminum board. After cutting and sanding, I bent the spoon into the right shape and then carefully polished the model. From market survey to the final model, the whole program was finished in two weeks.

PROTOTYPES To visualize and test different ideas, I built dozens of prototypes. They not only showed me the different possibilities, but also inspired me to develop many more potential structures.
TEST RECORD VIDEO: https://youtu.be/pF82vJB-rSw
CHAIN DRIVE Easy to install and repair; Can only be used without heavy load; Need to readjust machine height; Sophisticated, might be too costly.
TRIPLE FLIPBOARD More efficient than normal flipboard; Larger space-occupation; Fragile, may be hard to repair or install.
ANTI-OVERLOAD GEAR SET Pair with flipboards or other rotating structures; Stop the heavy-loaded floor from flipping; Distinguish between machines and waste.
DETAILED STRUCTURES With the help of the 3D printer, I made some more sophisticated parts. And the prototype test allowed me to see the pros and cons in those different
