Weekly Update Post 5

This past week was pretty successful. We finished the entire bot, for the most part. A few more minor tweaks and we have a competition-ready bot. Of course, we ran into a few problems. One of our gears did not come in on time. This was the gear that will attach to the Planetary motor that moves the sliding door, via a rack and pinion system. Additionally, we had some small errors due to gears not meshing properly. However, with efficient planning, we can solve all these small problems. The most efficient way to solve the gear alignment is to constrain the axles. Now, the only main objective left to do is solder the flimsy parts of the motor back on.
Looking back over the week, this was a very accomplished week. It really makes me proud.
