Silly String

 Nik and Pierce troubleshooted our lift system and decided to scrap the string being wound on the side, as it would not wind correctly and started to destroy the string. Instead, the string was moved to an axle beneath the arm that is turned by a gear attached to a motor. This arrangement prevents the string from stretching when the arm is lowered- another problem we encountered- and provides more torque for raising the lift, making it a much better solution.
