Today, I came back to the class room and found that Katie had attached the claw to the design. This was attactched well, however I realized that it went way over the size limit. I though about moving the claw to where it was attatched further down, which took off a couple of inches, however it still wasn't enough. I decidided that the only way to fix the design would be to move the base of the lift further back wards. This would keep it in the size limit.
I moved the arm back. I looked for more of what we originally had the arm on, but I couldn't find any. Instead, I used the same thing just without the side. The issue I ran into there was that I couldn't attach it to the robot, due to the fact there was no side. To solve this, I attached little brackets that the bar type thing (I am not sure what it is actually called) sets on. I believe this fixed the size problem, but we might have to move the motor that moves the arm up and down. In class, I did not have time to attach the claw so I could not get definite measurements. I still think it will be pretty close. -Katie
"Little Bracket"- These are what I attached for the "bar type thing" to set on.

This was the final product with the lift fully attached.
