Putting the Pieces Together

Today we met to begin assembling our crane.  We made some progress on coding, however it needs to be refined.  The assembly is coming along well, we plan on gluing the cab to the crane down as wells as the DC motor mount.  You can find pictures of our individual 3-D Parts, Laser Cut Board, as well as the boom and cab to our crane.

Future Work:  Revise the code to allow the weight to be lifted, moved, and then dropped.  Possibly make button commands for each movement.
