Robotics - Ramp Reassemble

We finally got the linear bearings 3D printed and attached. (That actually happened on the meeting last Saturday, which I could not attend.) The builders worked on mounting the lift assembly to the robot and tested operating the lift with string.

Meanwhile, I and several other non-engineers worked on fixing the ramp that had been assembled inside-out and backwards. We went down to the local hardware store and bought longer rivets and long screws for the builders. With the new rivets, we were able to - after a good deal of spatial finagling - rivet the pieces of the ramp together. It actually took four people and almost an hour of working together to make it happen.

We started attaching the side pieces to the ramp, but we ran out of time and didn't have all the brackets ready.
