Work on Arm Assembly Plan

[douglas-rac-mech]

Need to complete the Arm Assembly so parts can be ordered soon after spring break

Tasks include:

1) Finalizing the clamp design to get masses

• Hinging mechanism (basically find a ~360 basic COTS hinge to bolt in)
• Top Clamp attachment design to ensure sweeping motion (maybe adding bristles)
• Base clamp design finalization to ensure higher mass than expected top + trash loads at lowest possible mass values
• Create Stopper Geometry for the two locations
• Finish modeling bearing assembly with Bars in correct locations

2) Calculating torque needed for torsional spring to overcome gravity force of trash + upper lid, but allow the base to remain lowered
