What worked
- We did
- Getting on the ramp in autonomous
- Flag raising (w/ original broken & repaired flag raiser) - new flag raiser is too flexible
What didn't
- Hanger - pinned the 5/8" tubing, but the set screws did not hold the steel shaft
- Block collection & scoring - we were a very low-yield block scorer
Thoughts & observations
- Hanger
- Explore alternative approaches
- Center arm on top tube with independent rotation and spring-loaded lift?
- If we keep this approach:
- Need to key the steel drive shaft - and if possible increase the shaft diameter - Maybe hardened steel shaft
- Hooks should probably be reversed & lowered; back up to engage
- Latex tubing "springs" can assist lift once shafts are secured
