Notes
In line with Martin's inspirational quote here is one that works to decribe the prototype:
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
Vince Lombardi
Work Completed
Discussion about the size of spool that that will needed in order to hold the ten feet of aircraft cable it was decided to decrease the diameter of the aircraft cable to ~3/16" instead of ~1/8" in order to save space. Also discussed and finalized placement of lifter towers in respect to the rest of the robot. There weren't many people and grabber was working with the prototype so no work was done on the lifter part of the prototype.
Challenges
The spool is now a limited width so that it can fit into the design of the robot and spools that size and in general are very diffuculd to find anywhere.
Work for Next Meeting
The prototype still needs to be finished. The grabber team was working on it for the entire meeting so the stuff that our team needed to do didn't get done.
On Schedule?
Yeh we are still pretty much on schedule.
