Background
Jenga® is a game that tests physical and mental skills. Players take turns removing wooden blocks from a tower constructed of 54 blocks. Each layer consists of three blocks placed side by side, with each layer rotated by 90 degrees in relation to the one above and below it. As the game progresses, the tower becomes unstable. Once the tower falls, the game is over, and the pieces must be reset in order to play the game again.
We use a Delta robot (courtesy of the Delta Droid team from ME102B Spring 2014) as the basis of our system, i.e. one with three arms connected to universal joints at the base. Servo motors control the arms, allowing for multiple degrees of freedom. Blocks will be fed into a waiting area, from which the gripping mechanism will then pick them up one at a time and stack them.
