== 4-Bar Lifter Arm
==== Sensors
* sensors want 4 (2 in practice) 9-deg sensors to provide arm angle relative to support pillar 
* potentiometer failsafes -- will be used only if 9DF sensors don't work out
* 2 limit switches (top & bottom hard limits)
==== Actuators
* 1 CIM motors
* Wormed into winch - Allows to maintain position when powered off
==== Code
* top/bottom range calibration
* preset positions (6-8 possible, check with Game) and manual move up/down
* hard software limits --> must satisfy
* needs to be able to detect if unspooling and stop motor

== !Claw/Grabber
=== Pneumatic Implementation
==== Sensors
* viewing camera
* magnetic sensors inside the pistons
==== Actuators
* 2 pneumatic pistons
==== Code
* only 2 positions: open, closed
* When the claw is below a certain level off the ground (To be determined), the claw must be in the closed position

=== Motor Implementation
==== Sensors
* camera
* angle sensor (potentiometer or encoder)
==== Actuators
* motor
==== Code
* limits on motor extreme values

'''Drive Train'''[[BR]]
Sensors[[BR]]
* Lidar sensor to detect distance from back wall; used for autonomous ranging
* 2 encoders to tell distance, possibly turning
Actuators[[BR]]
* 4 CIM Motors

'''Hook'''[[BR]]
Sensors[[BR]]
* possible limit switch
Actuators[[BR]]
* small-stroke piston - open and close hook
Code[[BR]]

'''!Input/Sensors'''[[BR]]
Implement and manage sensors and human input for the entire robot.

Manage the input and hand out button assignments (work with drive team).

'''Camera'''[[BR]]
Manage and process the camera input from any cameras decided to be mounted on the robot.

'''Design Patterns Implementation'''[[BR]]
Implement the general design pattern; design and implement the sensors interface within the project
