Day 6: Prototyping, Programming, Design & Manufacturing Progress
Prototyping
Today, we had a large group of students working to prototype mechanisms for subsystem 2 (tube grabber. One group was working to construct a jig for testing roller prototypes. The other group worked to think up alternate solutions for tube grabbing.
Several Team Members working on a prototype.

Programming
The programming team met today to refine the control of the robot during teleoperated mode. Progress is being made.
Design
Today, several team members were working on the CAD Design of a part for the elevator carriage. Furthermore, later in the evening, we continued working on the mounting interaction between the elevator and the drivebase.
Manufacturing
The machining of the bearing housings is finally complete. After five long days of machining, all of the parts are done with machining. After they are deburred and polished, they will be ready for anodizing.
Completed Inner Bearing Housings
Completed Outer Bearing Housings
