Extender Arm Prototype Demonstration

This is the functional prototype of our climbing mechanism. The arm will start in the robot folded up. During End Game, the rack and pinion will extend the first stage of the arm. When the arm extends a certain distance, the flip-up arm becomes unclasped and the surgical tubing causes the second stage of the arm to swing upward. Once the hook latches onto the bar, the rack and pinion will run backwards to lift the robot. This prototype, with the exception of the hook, could be used in the final robot.
