assembling a specific hand to drop the ball ( week 8 )

-
In this quarter two we stared the tube challenge which basically we have to figure out an arm to pick up the ball without the ball falling on the way up. Then programming it to do so. And then drop the ball into the tube. So what we did was we got a wide enough metal piece to bend and put an axial across the middle to hold the ball on the way up and we put sort of like spinners to push out the ball when it needs to be dropped.

For each team programming the robot and getting it to preform well is our top priorities.
