We were happy with a win in the opening round, but were disappointed with a second round loss
Our machine went through many changes throughout the semester. Our design changed to meet what we felt were key aspects of the competition. We originally had a cart like design but decided to not include that as we went forward because we felt it took away some of the stability of our base. This may have been true but it appeared through the competition that teams that could drive did very well.
In the end we went with a stationary base and and extendable rotating arm. The extendable arm was very effective. It could change lengths much quicker than other teams and we were very happy with the constraints of the arm. It was very controlled the whole time. We, as well as Jean, were worried about the constraints of the arm but it turned out very well.
It was a fun semester and I feel much better about many aspects of design after the semester
