Today Jorge and I prototype our new coupling for our piston. The coupling itself was too wide for our piston shaft so we added a bit of duct tape to the shaft making it wider. We then fitted the coupling itself onto the piston shaft. Finally we conducted some tests in order to see if our prototype worked. These tests consisted of starting and stopping the piston at different points in the scissor lift cycle and determining whether or not it was up to our standards. The prototype could use some work but for now our tests proved it was preforming nominally.
