We finished our exam in this class, so now we don't have any more lecture, and can focus on completing our machine. We have signed up for a 2 hour slot for the mill and the lathe this evening, so we're looking forward to getting our PVC machined. We will need to turn the outside of the smaller PVC pipe to make the arm telescope properly. Once we get the PVC arm working, we will need to design a way to make the arm drop down when the competition begins.
Here's a picture of our pipes before manufacturing. Once we have them machined, we'll post a picture or a video of the telescoping motion.
