  1. Several rough ideas (as of Sunday March 20), that include dowels, pvc, and 3D printed elements. - Megan (Atlas#0263 on discord)

Notes from bay session, Sunday March 20th:

About design C

  • PVC might be too bendy

    • Can put it at strategic angles so it’s strong in the axis that matters

  • If the bottom beam of PVC is interfering with the takeoff/landing, we can move it up on the leg so it still works on the barrel

  • The 3D printed brackets should definitely be attached on the arms

  • The beams should not be on a slanted angle (for length maximization + don’t want to put unexpected horizontal force on the arms)

Progress made

  • 1/8 inch PVC sheet ordered from E3 machine shop. We will see how structurally sound it is when it arrives

Updates needed

  • What the length of the legs need to be to fit the grabber and all relevant components
