Notes

Too many people trying to help out which becomes unproductive. 

Work Completed

We started building prototype of the ramp, we go the pnuematics hooked up to the piston. We cut out the ramp out of wood, it's 14 1/3 in x 11 in, it's scaled down by a factor of 3. The ramp will fold up to the side of the robot. Cut 9.61 in leg of ramp, tried to come up with way to attach wheel to it. 

Challenges

Originally, we were putting the piston on the other side of the wheel attatched to the leg, but turns out it goes on the side away from the robot. Another problem is attaching the wheel to the ramp. Attatching the piston is a prolem as well, Nolan suggested to use 2 L-brackets to secure the piston to the wood. A problem may be that when the ramp folds up the wheel may stick out or not fold up completely. 

Work for Next Meeting

Prototype ramp, test lifting stuff.
