Re: Team 573 Presents: Velociraptor

We have ten turn potentiometers on both our main arm and forearm. Although our arm does not have the capability to extend outside the 84 inch cylinder, we will eventually add some software to limit the travel of our arm so we don't break anything again. I believe we are also going to add pre-set arm positions, so with the press of a button we can be at the height of a row of pegs.

It isn't for the arm, but I believe that we are going to add a timer on the deployment button so we can't deploy before a certain amount of time.
