July 6: Manipulator Design Execution Begins

Today we made a VERY important decision:
To design, build, and fully prototype of lift and accumulation systems on one of our team's chassis, while we continue driver practice on the other two.  From this point until these systems are complete students will switch out between designing and building to driver practice and back again. 

With our remaining meeting time we were able to assemble our full set of troughs (thanks to an anonymous donation), get in a lot of full field driver practice, begin build on our FRC-style roller for accumulation, and - borrowing a little from past New Zealand type 4-bar linkages - get the key elements of our lift in place.
