* The power switch and battery were logically (but perhaps not optimally) mounted.

* The battery, switch and motor controllers were wired.  Wired were dressed using wire ties.

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.
