Robot Accessible Tower of Hanoi

thingiverse

A modified classic puzzle Tower of Hanoi designed for accessibility to both clumsy small 3D printed robot arms and little humans alike. Several design considerations were taken into account: - A gear-shaped handle was incorporated to accommodate the robot gripper's needs. - The disks are stacked instead of being placed on a rod, making handling much easier. - A cone-like socket was designed to facilitate moving the pieces around. For those unfamiliar with this puzzle, here are the rules as outlined by Wikipedia: The game begins with all disks neatly stacked in ascending order of size on one rod, with the smallest disk at the top, creating a conical shape. The goal is to move the entire stack to another rod while adhering to these simple rules: - Only one disk can be moved at any given time. - Each move involves taking the uppermost disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack. - No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
