Tasks Completed

• tested prototypes
  • compared folding v. telescoping arm
    • release mechanism - needs 1 person for folding arm, 2 for telescoping arm
    • telescoping - may stick inside, in case of being skewed is useless and unfixable
    • folding arm is overall better, as it has a harder time breaking, has less friction
    • both have a simple stopping mechanism that should work quite well - latch-fold pin-tele
    • NOTE: telescoping prototype did not work at all at first - telescoping part was too rough
    • Upper structure 85% done.
