Ball Challenge Autonomous (Week 14)

Today we have began to work on the ball version two which is to get a single ball into the tube with autonomous commands.There are several problems that have arose from the beginning of our attempts. First the ball is a much smaller object than our previous automated challenge not only the force applied to the ball sends it rolling in the opposite direction. The second problem is that the arm of our robot is too heavy for the gears to hold up so it falls down when no motor power is applied. To the second problem I have resorted to using rubber bands to hold the arm in place giving it small resistance to its weight.
