2024:Hang

1/6/24

Discussed and prototyped on CAD a spring gate hook

1/7/24

• Prototyped two different types of hooks
• Tested both, worked well in holding on the chain and preventing slipping

1/18/2024

• Added bearing block holes to hook

• Discussed and created CAD design for ratchet strap attachment to hook

1/20/2024

• Attached new ratchet strap clamp to the hook assembly

• Decided we're driving each arm with 1 NEO, for 2 NEOs total
• Using 1 electric solenoid per each arm (to control the pawl), 2 electric solenoids total *Changed one of our bearing block designs to minimize the number of smaller bearing blocks we have to make. We decided to make one big bearing block instead of cutting two smaller ones. *Started analyzing gear ratios. *Decided to use the same ratchet strap on this robot as 2022.  *Started designing the spool that the ratchet goes around.
