I found out that the gearing on the lower arm is too high, so we are going to try and remount it to a 6-to-1 gear ratio.  -Ian

Meeting 2-10-09

Attendence- Ian, Tucker, Penelope

Agenda- Swap out broken pieces, fix code, test arms

Turns out the tubes need clamps on both ends so they don't slip out of the clamps.  Which means that before we can test the arms we have to remove the tubes and put tube clamps in the ends.  -Ian

I helped Ian remove the tubes to fit clamps in them and tried not to lose anything, even though i mostly helped FRC.
