We mounted the pistons onto the feeder frame by:

-drilling out the bottom of the square channel on the arms so that we could put a nut on it. In order to drill properly we put the arms in the vice clamp and tensioned the belt out of the way. Then we drilled three holes which we connected to fit a needle nose plier.

-We used the needle nose to mount the bolt to the arm with three spacers, the bolt was not tightened all the way.

-the same was repeated for the other arm.

-the other side of the piston was mounted on the inside of the backframe using two spacers and putting the nut on the inside of the U channel.

Once the pistons were mounted, we connected them to a pnematics system and tested the function.

Then, we took the feeder to the nano and used 2 1inx3in pieces of wood on either side and a T-nut and bolt in the center of the back of the frame to mount the feedder onto the nano with multiple zip ties.

Once the feeder was secured we connected the motors on the arms to the nona and the pneumatics on the pistons to the nona.

We tested the feeder a couple of times, but ran into pressure and voltage problems.

It took time to bolt the pistons to the arms and there were some electrical issues during testing.
