Ethan Cronier	working on solidworks license meet with with Ali for science stuff wednesday @8 -everyone if interested	gripper, gripper, gripper fix gripper looseness
Mathieu Harter (Deactivated)	Started looking into the design of A3A4	work with Austin to figure out motors
Austin Tailon Huang	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	Created confluence page for comma system (partially completed) Communications System (2021-2022) Designed Mount, currently printing/testing	Figure out if antenna can be used for sending and recieved both at the same time of if two separate need to be used CONTACT MELVIN Keyon figure out comms stuff - maybe
Olabisi Sanusi		651616 Maxon motor fixture
Former user (Deleted)	Lead stuff	random motor selection (occasionally) random small tasks random small machining

Joe read the rules & find some batteries
more cross beams in the chassis - will need more structure for more support so it is stiff enough Ethan Cronier Emily Adam
Arm more centered?
Gimbal side up (Walle style )
24V motor selection!

error on prototype arm
- reach issues - current arm should be alot shorter
  - this helps with reducing torque requirements
Backlash issue
figure it out
