Our August 3 meeting included a full discussion on decisions for the accumulator and lift, lots of drive practice,and the biggest milestone was that we finished
all accumulator and lift systems on 1414A well enough to run full exhaustion testing successfully. See for yourself:

Conclusions:
1. Two motor lift with latex tubing assist is plenty - no need for another motor (which we can now use for the H Drive if we so choose)
2. Proper tensioning of flexible mouth opening for accumulator along with optimizing roller
position are keys for smooth accumulation of sacks.
3. For the second year in a row: Spring/latex tubing assist
lifts rocks!
With this, we were able to order parts for complete design work on all of our robots. Woot!
