 This is the first lab activity. Most likely you are here based on choosing it, but maybe you wanted to partner up and didn't know anyone in the class. At this point, there should be a Canvas module page for identifying other folk who are unpaired and seeing if they are open to pairing up.  An alternative is to post a message to Piazza or whatever other mechanism exists for communicating with your class peers.
+=== The Manipulators ===
+Like any mechanical device or machine, these can break or get misaligned.  The Canvas module page explains how to communicate problems. Be prepared to use another manipulator as the time to fix will be measured in days not hours.   My pro tip to you is to name your calibration file with the manipulator number so that if you have to switch, you can maintain a distinct calibration file and easily alternate between two different manipulators as needed.  Try to stick with one, but in case it breaks/gets misaligned, move to another that is functional until the main one is repaired.
