Throughout the week, plates were attached to the autonomous beacon attachment to increase the likelihood of pressing the beacon.
The servos for the claw mechanism were originally the 180 degree ones, but these didn’t have enough range for the claws to fit in 18*18*18 in., so we switched to the 1000 degree servos. Although these have more range and are easier to build since one does not have to worry about the initial servo attachment position, these servos are slower going into their defined position. Also the robot has difficulties with the claws being too loose.
