One does not simply... oh wait


This is our Tel-op running Sonic, we still need to write an autonomous program for the IR beacon and elevate the arm for higher rows. In the mean time, however, we have a working arm that can quickly and easily place rings on the bottom row of the rack.
Another benefit of this test was that we discovered we could remove the rings from the grabber by simply tilting it, removing the need for our other ring flipper and making the transfer of rings from rack to rack that much simpler.

Arms Race

Today our working design is due; it must be coded and be able to pick up a ring. Our grabber design is finished, so now its just a race against the clock to get an arm working so that our grabber can actually reach the rings.
