The goal of this project was to build a portable, fail-safe device capable of extracting a metal sample from the interior of a tube in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The device must be capable of passing through potentially warped tubes, store the sample safely without exposing the sample to the operator, provide operator feedback, and collect only between 30 and 80 milligrams of the sample. Additionally, the device must be reusable, and compact enough to be broken down into man-portable sizes.
