Small progress in mechanical ...

Friday (04/24^th) - Today in the afternoon we took a small shift in the mechanical part of the project. We could do some measurements to have an idea of mathematic's sketch as an area of occupancy, volume and area of operation of the prototype. We also make some appointments to implement what we had on 3D design into reality. The result was, an idea of how will be when mounted.
Yesterday we bought the tap of nylon to provide a spacer between each link and also support for the bearings of the joints. Below we have two photos of the arm resting on the floor, did not like the seams yet this was the way to "mount" to have an idea of angulation. And talking about angulation, stress the importance of a difference in angle between the basis and "penpendicular's structure" to it. Indeed we opted for an angle of this structure on the basis of 30 °, so that the total mass of the prototype to be redistributed. We believe that this angle will serve as "counter-weight" still bet on the need of using any additional weight-control if the arm tends to front (structure of the claw).
