Just a quick update to let everyone know that the parts (bearings) are in the processes of being shipped. Schaeffler has kindly agreed to donate the bearings used in this project. Motion Industries has been working closely with them to get the parts shipped to LaCrosse from Germany. Right now it looks like we will have some of the parts later this week. Other parts will not be here until mid February. Depending on what parts come in and when, we can hopefully start work on building the prototype soon.
The programming and controls for the linear actuator that will raise and lower the arm has been completed and bench tested. Now we just have to scale it up and test it on the actual arm.
