Hi there!
Today is the big day! We're competing in the Duderstadt Gallery from 1:30 to 3:00! Our seeding round could have gone a little bit better (our arm popped off of the nut due to some miscommunication), but we ended up about middle of the pack, seed-wise. We'll see how it goes competing against the other teams. Our machine seems to block some of the other machines from what I see, so hopefully we'll do pretty well.
As for final manufacturing, we added another motor to pull up on the arm when it reaches the middle of the arena. This definitely helps with the scoring. We also changed the leadscrew from the 1/4" aluminum to the 3/8" mild steel, which is much more robust and better suited for our purpose.
Good luck to all the other teams!
