Tasks Completed

• Arm prototyping
• Designing upper structure
  
• determined which arm to use(telescope or folding[scale 1-10 {1 worst 10 best}])
  

	folding	telescope
does it work	9	3.5
realibility(prototype or design error)	10 (prototyped latch part was a little faulty, spring would be set so that it latches each time)	4
how much force can it take	9.5(prototype only 1 side of the latch was used, in final design both sides would be used, making the final design stronger)	N/A
how easy is it to reset	9 (1 person can reset)	2 people, fairly easy
autonomous mode	N/A	N/A
speed, timing	9 (fast)	7
how easy is it to fix	9(outside plates and latches are the only things that might break. if they break they are very easy to replace)	7(arm could possibly break completly making it very hard to repair, unless you have a spare arm)
which one has the most play	similar	similar
release mechanism	9 (1 person)	(2 people)
speed of deployment	9	8
übertube loading	9(arm simply folds at the beggining of the match)	4(arm has to be tucked in all the way, could create problems)
