Robot Project: Treat dispenser cardboard mockup

Cardboard mock up of the servo driven cat treat dispenser

I’ve been working on a mock up of the servo driven treat dispenser for my robot. I wanted to build a mock up to look for any design problems before I commit to cutting aluminum and acrylic sheet. Here is a quick design walk-around video:

I also did a test with real treats that went well, here are the videos of that:


So far, so good, I’m a little worried about the size and weight of the treat dispenser but I think my next step is to try to get to a powered test of the mechanism.
