I am typing this log today (a day after I have completed these tasks because I had no time yesterday). Yesterday, my partner and I found some flaws in our design. The claw was bumping into the arm and the claw's arm had too much weight. We disassembled the claw and its arm. The claw was also missing a an unidentifiable pin; therefore we replaced it with a screw of appropriate length, and it is now functionable. We are now on the right track and moving quickly; nothing will slow us down.
