The finished prototype. Very functional without much focus upon aesthetics. Another iteration would involve a visual overhaul and an addition of cutting guide grooves to the turntable. Video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg_oQ.
The cutting arm runs through a pizza, creating a single cut. The motion of the arm is defined by two switches. The turntable then rotates ninety degrees, again limited by a switch.
