Abstract Some pharmacy workers experience Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from the repetitive motion of opening child proof bottles all day. My invention addresses that problem by holding and opening caps of child proof containers automatically. In this project I experimented with different types of motors to find out which one would be most effective for the different requirements.
