Work Completed

We finished attaching the piston and the bottom plate to both the grabber protypes. We halfway finished the second grabber. The first grabber is kind of attached to the 80-20 towers. We tested the first grabbber with the pneumatics. It worked but we suspect there are some problems w/either the hole that the piston and the pneumatics attach to (cause' some air could be escaping) or w/the piston itself. 

Challenges

- Trying to get the correct parts to attach the piston to the back plate and the other pneumatics (we just don't have the right parts, we're making do w/what we have)

- Keeping the piston parellel to the grabber arms, b/c we attached sort of attached it crookedly and there have been leaking problems w/the piston. 

- Attaching the grabber to the tower (the holes on the C-channels are not big enough to put the screws through to the tower and we noticed that after we attached it....sorry) 

 

Work for Next Meeting
