After trying out with linkages we realized many shortcomings of using linkages for our design, including friction, instability, and size. We decided to seeek inspiration from some of the toys designs such as VEX machines. From that we moved on to a new approach of adapting bevel gears for our systems instead of linkages. We got our hands dirty playing around with bevel gears.
