A REAL challenge. Can you make a ventilator with VEX

Ok so here is my challenge to all VEXers.

With the world needing ventilators can you design a mechanism to automatically squeeze a manual bag to keep a person alive? I know that a V% system with its powerful motors with force feedback will b e more than capable of doing a great job.

So are you up to the challenge!? Who cares about the 21-22 season when you can save lives now.

Publish your design and see it it can get approved for real world life saving. Perhaps even donate you V5 kit until this is all over. How will we keep the V5 running all the time and not needing batteries.

Hello I have already made a model an posted this. If you could get this popular we can donate to other doctors.

I worked hard on making an automated Bag Valve Mask Pump. This is essentially a VENTILATOR. There is a huge demand on ventilators right now. So i discussed a few models and linked the code down below the video. Please watch it and if you plan on making on reply so we can help out the doctors.

Since this is the off-season of Vex and you all probably have some parts remaining please consider doing this.
