Re: If you could change one thing....

The conceptual design process took too long without getting much done. Too much work was put on one student who knew Inventor very well. The arm mount and "end effector" were not thought about carefully enough. If the HexaMax transmissions work well, we will go smaller and lighter next year. Also we spent way too much time on design yet we still ended up hand drilling lots of holes and hand fabricating lots of parts. Last, the robot lacks color.

Hopefully all these issues will be addressed next year.
