July 19: Positive Progress, but slow...

One of the real human parts of a project as complex as competition robot design and development is that things always move more slowly than everyone wants them to, however our progress remains positive and we're getting close to an integrated design.   Today we were far enough along to do some lift testing for the arm under similar-to-competition weight/mass/time conditions.  Conclusion: we definately need to add surgical tube assist to out 4-bar linkage lift and possibly need to add a third motor too.
