Core Team Member Assignments

Arden
	4-Bar Lifter Arm Sensors sensors want 4 (2 in practice) 9-deg sensors to provide arm angle relative to support pillar potentiometers for backup - Outputs a resistance level based on angle Actuators 1-2 CIM motors Wormed into winch - Allows to maintain position when powered off Code Top and Bottom limit Possible preset positions / height
Fahim
	Claw/Grabber Sensors SUBJECT TO CHANGE Camera encoder infrared for possession sensing infrared for sensing the distance between fingers Actuators 2-4 inch stroke pneumatics (60 psi) OR Denzo motor Code If use motor, set limits on opened and closed positions
Josh
	Drive Train Sensors encoder - detects distance traveled through wheel rotation Actuators 4 CIM Motors, 4 Talon SRX Hook Sensors Not specified Actuators small-stroke piston - Open & Close hook on bin Code When the Arms is down, Hook MUST be in the closed position
Andrew
	Input/Sensors Implement and manage sensors and human input for the entire robot. Manage the input and hand out button assignments (work with drive team). Camera Manage and process the camera input from any cameras decided to be mounted on the robot. Design Patterns Implementation Implement the general design pattern and design small-scale patterns for use
