Re: pic: Team 558
Hey, Madison, my musical-theater-and-robotics-loving friend! Norm is partly correct; we are still w/in 80" with the ball; the gripper you see in the photo is actually going to be modified so the fingers angle up, which helps keep us just in the limit. The folding thing doesn't really help us, obviously, when we're holding the ball. We have a little adjusting to do, but my hubby (the main engineering dude) assures me that when all is said and done we will not measure more that 80" corner to corner with the ball held in the position you see in this photo, which is the point at which the ball (and grippers) are the furthest out.

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. - Akash Rastogi [more]
