This is an off season project my team has nearly finished. It has served at a great learning tool for new students/ a first time test for pneumatics and Solidworks for the team. Any suggestions for improvements? - Besides that the pneumatic piston is still ductaped to the arm and the manipulator wheels are not yet powered? Any and all critiques are welcome!!
Some specs: We used 1/16" thick, 1" square aluminum tubes, rivets, and various brackets for build. The lift for the arm is powered by a banebots motor and FP gear box. This system is currently attached to a rod via pin to the rod (rod subject to bending...). The manipulator wheels will be powered with a Vex motor.
