@Mathieu Harter (Deactivated) 

  • Started looking into the design of A3A4

  • work with Austin to figure out motors

@Austin Tailon Huang (Deactivated) 

  • fixed arm calculations + linkage lengths

  • reviewed motor and gearbox options more. struggling to find reasonable options at 48V ; most 48V motors are flange type with higher weights

  • pancake motors are highly preferred but less accessible at the moment

  • we should explore 24V motors

  • we should get someone to contact us nanotech on their motors

  • finalize gearboxes and motor selection THIS weekend

  • arm testing on saturday

  • no sketches jet just looking for motors  : (

@Jasmine Milan (Deactivated) 

 

  • Figure out if antenna can be used for sending and recieved both at the same time of if two separate need to be used

General Notes

  • error on prototype arm

    • reach issues - current arm should be alot shorter

      • this helps with reducing torque requirements

  • Backlash issue

  • figure it out
