Arm Iterations

 

 

This is our first idea for the arm. It involed a minicart that would roll back and forth across a path. The lower part would have been suspended from the cart. We changed this idea because it was compliated to attached the second motor needed to lift the arm into Grendel's mouth.

 

This is our second version of the arm and it look much mroe like the final version. It, however, lacked the ability to search an area by rotating.

 

This was the "sketch" of our final design. However, for the final the three gears were replaced by two gears with a black chain connecting them.
