The Task
Each section will design and build a "machine" - this means anything that includes mechanism, actuation, automation and application, so:

Mechanism: mechanical degrees-of-freedom (DOF)

Actuation: computer-controllable motion of the above DOFs

Automation: software-coordinated computer-control of the above, and i.e. sequences therein

Application: pipelines from desired (designed) outcomes (shapes generated, patterns drawn, parts picked-and-placed etc), to actual outcomes (real stuff!)
