today was a very good day for our project. We ended up putting the final design together. we were able to shorten the pvc pipe in the middle to accomodate the new size of the whole spike strip. We then used a connector from another piece of pipe to put the two together. The PVC cement had unfortunately dried and we had to use screws to connect them instead.We ran into another problem of connecting the chain. The chain took hours to figure out how to connect and we ended up saving it for tomorrow because we couldnt figure it out. We ran into another problem: the entire spike strip was too close to the ground so our sprocket scraped. We solved this by lifting the entire strip up about an inch using a large piece of plywood. We then installed the sensors inside the strip to tell it where to stop.
