PROBLEM STATEMENT
A hardware engineering project extracted from the document.
PROJECT SPECOCTO
OBJECTIVE
My goal is to make humans a net 1.1 efficient speciesCONSTRAINT
Unfortunately the robotic arm broke down after testing for 5 hours. Had to remake a new more durable oneTRADE-OFF
Chose to buy premade joints for the new robotic arm instead of using my 3D printed onesOUTCOME
Achieved 1.2 levels of efficiency, unfortunately couldnt reach the goalBUDGET
PLANNED
$50
ACTUAL
$100
STATUS
100% over

CODE
HOW IT'S STRUCTURED
Switched from functional to OOP. This way I can reuse code instead of writing it all over again. Instead of doing this manually I used the help of claude to help bug test and run simulations on whether the program would run efficiently.
CODE DIAGRAMS & EVIDENCE
WHAT I'D DO DIFFERENTLY
I wish this arm was built earlier in my life. My biggest reflection point is not starting earlier
