Today was a group meet up with everybody, and it was mostly a build-everything-that-isn't-built day and a code-anything-that-isn't-coded day.
Once again taking advantage of the "Trailer is allowed to be any size" rule, our first attempt at the Cattle Feeder looked like this:
From this angle, it looks a little like a cow. Which means when it rolls over the troughs, it should look like it's vomiting the food into them instead of the other way around. Nice!
The flat bit in the middle is where the rice goes. The bit that sticks up in the middle with the piece of paper is intended to be a slider that will push the rice toward the right. On the right there's a couple of slopes that funnel the rice into a small hole that should fill the trough.
Will it work? Hmmmmmmm...
Note from the future: No. It did not work.
