Today we continued to work on our scissor lift and front conveyor belt prototypes. The scissor lift works pretty well (it's able to lift crates) and has the added "cool factor" as opposed to a plain arm. We're still working to improve the design, though.
We also replaced the rubber bands on the front-facing conveyor belt with treads, which work a lot better; however, we're not able to test the prototype until we can get our hands on some more tread gears. (Alpha is using them for their conveyor belt right now.) Still, we determined that the conveyor belt should be able to pick up racquetballs off the floor, although it would need to be angled slightly.
One other thing we did was continue mounting the standard conveyor belt on the front of the squarebot. We hope to have it done soon!
