AHHH Test Failures
both single and triple versions failed
Program
programmed the arms in separate while loop on one joystick (normal one is while(1 != 1){ } )
test = right arms raises and drags left arm causing gears to severely skip and the arms to stop every couple of inches
SOLVED: right arm motor was high speed. It has been changed and a missing screw on the left pivot was put in. Arms still skip sometimes at higher speeds but arms lift consistently and are level
arms are currently reaching about 4', if we remove the top level we are at 3'
need to combine into one loop with everything at next meeting for two joysticks
Pick-up
finished assembling the chain and sprocket roller
test = picks up at ground level, however it can't raise the weight beyond the bars being horizontal to the ground = FAIL
We need something different
OR possibly we could take off the top level and make it an 8-bar linkage and see if it can lift it
Lift
major skipping, possible fixes:
try to take off top level and see if we can use the same pick-up <-test ASAP
add rubber bands to arms increase potential energy to help battle gravity
Chassis
still needs supports added across the width
