Today, we worked a little backwards today. It has been all about the gear ratio since my partner, the structural engineer, discovered the magic of gear ratios.  If a small gear is directly attatched to the shaft and a larger gear is attatched to an apparatus, then the device will move slowly and accurately; vise versa.  Today, the wrist of the claw was remodeled with new knowledge of gear ratios in mind. Tomorrow, we'll do something to something to make that more accurate and stable.
