Drivetrain
IT'S ALIVE!!! Need to change spacing between sprockets for drive wheels so they don't bind (should be getting spacers from Harris). Working on bumpers.
Arm/Manipulator
Upper structure has been changed somewhat, sheet metal has been added in CAD. Prototyping for two arm types has been done. The swing-and-latch mechanism is better than the telescoping mechanism - less potential for getting stuck while deploying, and more forgiving if the arm gets bent a bit. At least some of the files should be ready to send over to Harris tomorrow. Motors, transmissions, and encoders have been positioned in CAD.
Manipulator: design is set and we have almost all the parts!
