2021-05-25 Meeting Minutes - Arm

Goals

Get an update on everyone's tasks
Are motors selected?
Are encoders selected?
Who can get started on CAD?
Decide how we will proceed with prototype assembly if we don't get access to the bay

Member	Update	Action Items
Caleb	Solidworks part templates (Due June 3rd) A0 to A4 have been completed → please look through them and give feedback	Link part properties to templates (author, material, revision, etc.) Continue work on end effector
Austin	Joint 2 - Research done, motor almost selected	Find info on am-0915 motors with P27 gearmotor Select motor, gearbox and reduction CAD joint
