This video shows a summary of the tests that were carried out to achieve the goals.
The results of the tests carried out with the MACCEPA mechanism were so unsuccessful that they do not appear in this video.
First, the basic functions (opening and closing the grippers, operating the central articulation) were tested. Once this was done, several tests were made, and the necessary time delays between two operations were determined experimentally.
The tests were conducted on a ladder made by the group. To allow an easier transportation, this ladder is retractable.
