Yes I know this is my first post but, I've been reading for about 3 months and have completed the $50 robot, I have a good knowledge of electronics and especially programming (BS in CSCI).
Anywho, I want to make robot to straighten dollar bills. Basically the job I have we gather money (much of which is wadded/folded and we must straighten the bills before they can be counted by our bill counting machines. I'm confused as to where to even start.
Imagine you have a pocket of 200 bills and you need to straighten them, what do you think is the best approach? An arm type mechanism or maybe some kind of conveyor system?
Any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated.
