After wiring and electronics mounting, 1414 went live with drivetrain bench and field testing today. We're thrilled that all of our four priority criteria for our drivetrain were at least partially, if not fully met in v1.0!

After testing our meeting concluded with notebook entries, a quick tutorial on the Pythagorean Theorem, and a homework assignment to use the theorem to figure out dimensions for a one jointed arm to reach over the 30" goal (we figure 34" will be a safe height given the diameter of objects) with the lowest pivot point possible. Thus, our next meeting will include manipulator design work along with a few slight alterations to our drivetrain based on testing.
