Robotics - Diagonal Mount

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Saturday meetings are amazing for productivity. Today's, however, not so much. It's very difficult to be productive when the people responsible for most of the productivity are not present.

For the first two hours or so, the only people present on my team were me and an engineering notebook writer. We were able to do remarkably little beyond moving an out-of-place motor to an in-bound location and bending some L brackets to use as diagonal mounts (at the suggestion of the supervisor). The diagonal mount was meant to stay out of the way of the capstan string while still being inside the allowable dimensions. I successfully attached it, but it was not very stable and was too high.

When the actual build people arrived, we got the mount actually in place. Unfortunately, it was unable to spin the flag because the raiser was still too high. So, we moved it back over to a perpendicular mount that is probably in the way of the string. We're fairly certain it is now at the right height and sure it will fit into the corner, but we must again confront the string issue.
