  • A3 A4?

@Austin Tailon Huang (Deactivated) 

  • created page on maxon motor operation fundamentals

  • looking into actuation options in parallel to gleeson (in case) (what specific motors, what gearboxes, expected current draw/rpm/duty cycle)

  • going to look at no load experimental arm current and convert to holding torque

  • A1/A2 sketches, develop more concrete plan for actuator purchasing / pricing stuff

@Jasmine Milan (Deactivated) 

  • looking into antenna

  • checking with melvin to check if accurate

  • Antenna?
