Work Completed

Today we worked on the prototype for the grabber. Specifically on how to mount the clamp apparatus to the lifter mechanism.  We succesfully made a plate that we mounted the piston on, but had trouble mounting the plate to the lifter.  We also figured out a  way to slide the apparatus up the lifter towers, but had problems mounting the sliders to the towers.

 

Challenges

The plate we made to mount to the towers is heavy and may not work, we also realized at the end of the meeting that we need a way to lock the piston into the table so the grabber part will move instead of just the piston.  We also realized that it will be very hard to mount the sliders without taking the roof off the prototype.  

Work for Next Meeting

Work on mounting the piston somewhere so the prototype will work

Kavi will work on more CAD separately

On Schedule?
