We need help... A lot of it

[Sperkowsky]

Hey guys Im Sam from 2869 and we have some major issues. We "finished" the elevator system today only to find there is a couple of fatal flaws.

Basically the wheel that is supposed to make the wire move slips and does not actually move the cable. Another issue is the elevator platform is so tight on bot that it barely moves unless you put a good amount of force into it.

Its too late now to do anything on the bot and yes we bagged and tagged it. So we have to work with the 30 pounds.

Another thing to consider is the bot already weighs 117 pounds.

We have the funds necessary (Just recieved sponsorship money) the real issue is having enough time. Our regional is on March 27th.

Another thing to consider is our lack of resources we have in our lab at our hands. We are working with bar stock L bracket and Lexan. We have no 8020 no alumium sqaure or rectangular tubing ect.

Heres the Sketchup model of what its supposed to look like
