Holding torque 1.8 N.Cm. Arduino could be used as motors controller.
SQ11 HD night vision camera is recommended
Two Videos are attached, the first one illustrate assembly steps of all parts. Second video demonstate the movement of model.
Solidworks models 2018 are available upon request
Two Stage filtering have been add to collect the required range of rock's sizes. the 1st stage in the shovel where it allow small sizes to disposed (less than 8mm) and 2nd stage in the filter which prevent big rock from collecting in the container (bigger than 20 mm)
