Project Information
The project was to attempt at least a 5 axis arm design that would be capable of picking up a soda can to hydrate a short FRC team member.
This design ended up being accidentally a 6 axis arm because during the planning of the design, it was determined an extra linear extending axis needed to be added so that the robot could reach high enough.
