Atlas Stones Challenge - Day 3

Final robot design
Here is a picture of the final robot. As previously mentioned, my partner coded as I built, so we were able to test the robot as soon as it was completed. Something different I tried in terms of the winch was having it stretch from opposite ends of the robot. This would balance the mass distribution. I also added a 200 gram mass on the side of the winch and motor to counter the weight of the masses it'd be lifting. Based on some test trials, the robot's systems are running well and strongly. For the next class, we plan on trying to complete the programming. Maybe we will even be able to run our first trial.
