We messed up the arm! (week 6)

-
In trying to meet the parameters of 18x18 i replaced my large gears for medium gears. While the robot meets the parameters now, the arm cannot move. I didn't think about this before but by removing the large gears there is no place to slide the second axle that forces the arm up. Back to the drawing board.
