​We chose a passive claw intake because we felt that it was doable based on our current knowledge and abilities. We would have liked an active intake but could not prototype a working one. 

Iterations
  • Switched from GoBilda Torque servo to Axon Mini + for access to position sensor and PID tuning.
  • Redesigned claw to provide more support for servos and stronger connection to arm, as the “wrist” became the weak point and broke during tests
  • Added andymark tank tread as grip to fingers and claw to prevent pixels slipping during transport.
  • Weight reduced claw arm to avoid tipping when extended.
