31-October
A short crew for this meeting (CJ & Clem). In spite of this, we got a lot of work completed:
- Finished and tested the Flag Lift. Finishing included cutting the crank arms shorter and installing hard, slippery PTFE-impregnated Acetal (polyoxymethylene) contact plates on the teterix beam surfaces restraining the crack blades.
- The arm motor was changed (old one dead) and tested.
- The power switch and battery were logically (but perhaps not optimally) mounted.
- The NXT was shifted to move it away from the frame perimeter for safety.
- The battery, switch and motor controllers were wired. Wired were dressed using wire ties.
