Here's some shots of the arm mechanism being built.

As these shots show, the arms are actuated by a pully, attached is a 12" long cable that pushes or pulls a 3/8" delrin plastic rod out or in to the acrylic frame.  The limit switches ensure that the pully never turns too far in either direction.

I'm done with my robot for now, maybe next winter I'll upgrade the software and add some new stuff, but it's time to enjoy the summer now!  A full size Space Pod would be a nice outside project...
