wednesday
caroline and jessa (and sherri) modified arm code so that there are two speeds
erin and mary did some wire management
caroline and sherri went to ideo, and mounted the electronics board. there was other random bulid stuff to help with so that build could then help us w/ crossbraces for limit switches.
we were planning on attaching to the limit switches to crossbraces on the tower... however, with the new arm design that programmers have yet to see, the arm will probably not be touching the tower in the front. we had the idea before to attach protuding bit from the gear and then limit switches, but were afraid of having two switches hitting each other and ugliness. jimmy suggests just having different radii which might work. the other limit switch could be attached from the tower, but build/jimmy thinks that we need flappy bits of metal so we don't get crunch. because that would be ugly.
current idea:
*limit switch for the front on the gear itself
*for the back on the tower
however, because we only have a prototype + it was 10 we decided to deal with it tomorrow. also we wanted to make sure it wouldn't screw anything else up.
there is a list of stuff in the GENERAL notebook for programming. that's our notebook now.
electronics covers need to be dealt with. they have been designed and are made out of the board material.
ribs go in the wrong direction for the board... but it's not worth changing (says everyone besides rockman)
yeah. sorry if i forgot anything - just look in GENERAL. the dogeared page.
chrissy now has the best picture ever of caroline. =)
