Open Source Robotic Arm (Lite Arm i2)

Here's a revised text rewritten from the original: Progress is being made, as shown in these links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-abxC1MJ2whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZBTVfS4Mxkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G7_IZY3am0 Dave Beck is making significant strides. Updates from January 2nd, 2015 reflect changes made to forward and inverse kinematics. Alterations were required for parts 13B, 15B, and 18B; these have been renamed with a "C" appended, indicating modifications made. This ensures precise lengths, guaranteeing perfect alignment in linkage geometry. Electronic and software files will be added soon. A complete archive of 2014 files has been established to track progress and provide access to early versions. This team is committed to developing a versatile tool for 2015. An update from December 21st, 2014 outlines recent changes: 14B_and_17B 2.1.stl was added; its cleaner design led to replacement of 14B and 17B with 14B_and_17B 2.0.stl due to unstable files. Part 8B was replaced with 8B2.0 to address a discrepancy in symmetry related to part 7B. A second iteration, "Lite Arm Iteration 2," is an enhanced version of the first project (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:407800). Contributors are thanked for their contributions. This includes my local team: Robert Cordtz -R&D, Chris Beck -R&D, Emmanuel Mota -R&D, and Lance Pierson -Structural Design & Chief Agitator (all from the Bay Area in California). Online contributors include David Beck /Dacb (electronics and software) from the Pacific Northwest and Billie Jamerson /Reichenstein7 (structural design and media) from the DC Metro. Gratitude is expressed to all who were not mentioned individually.
