October 28, 2024 - Attaching the Specimen Grabber

Today, we completed final touches on the specimen grabber such as attaching gears and adding the shaft collars to the ends to create a secure and effective grabbing system. We had a few issues with how the gears were sitting within the structure of the grabber but we were able to solve it by moving various parts around.

November 4 - Testing various parts of the robot

Today we began with programming to test the build of the various parts of the robot that we had assembled (ie. claw, intake, arms). We noticed that there were many parts that were loose or unstable within the claw that made grabbing a sample difficult to overcome. With this, we found the solution was to add spacers in various parts to reduce any unnecessary movements within and pressure on certain parts.
