Mission Description
- Context: During a class party, everyone should get an equal treat without grabbing. You’ll create a simple Candy Dispenser that gives out one candy at a time when asked.
- Task: Using a servo motor and a button, construct a mechanism (it could be cardboard) that holds candies. When someone presses the button, the servo rotates to push/dispense a single candy, then returns to block more from falling out. You will need to code the servo to move a certain angle on button press and then move back.
- Expected Output: A working candy dispenser that releases one candy per button press. In practice, pressing the button causes the servo’s arm to swing and drop exactly one candy into a cup or hand, then reset. This ensures fair sharing and introduces automated vending machine concepts in a fun way.
