We are cool like that...


...LOL, just kidding.



One of our mentors owns American Aircraft (an airplane part making company, very technical terms of course).

The parts for the hooks were water jetted, i believe. Each hook is two parts that fit together like puzzle pieces, we are welding them right now so they are each one strong unit.

Yes...I'll take one, it will fit perfectly on our robot. Please thank the machinist.

j/k lol. very cool.

I think they serve as spares. Also, there are three different thicknesses there based on weight and/or structure needs.

The hook will be attached to the end of our arm. We will deliver it to the bar with the arm, and then pull ourselves up (there will be a steel cable running to our robot) with a Fisher-Price motor and a ratchet.
