At the moment, we are not going to have enough time to put the kinematic arm onto our robot before Utah Regionals. So instead, we had to quickly build a still-arm that drops the wrist using pneumatics along with the gripper. Hopefully for the Idaho Regionals we have the full arm!

After designing our four-bar “Kinematic” arm, we finally got to see it come to life! The arm is driven by a lead screw and one motor that will kick out the forearm part of the arm.

After five weeks of hard work, problem-solving, and determination, our exceptional programming “team” (consisting of one student) has given our drivers a working Swerve Drive chain! This is exceptional for a rookie team, a very daunting task for teams to achieve.
