Project Updates

With no physical system (aside from the sliders), we had to build our own system. We began by thinking about what we could use that would be easy to work with. Foam board was the obvious choice. We began cutting out preliminary pieces and started to assemble our robot.

Initial layout of our system. Attached to the triangle's vertices are the arms that will be attached to the sliders.

Anyone who has used these sliders and solder wires to them knows how important it is to use strain relief (green tape) to lower the chance that the wires will be ripped off.
