Hi

The material that I used in v2.0.0 sensor is mostly iron and steel.
Including the nesscary ball bearing and the boom. However, my sensors
does have issues. I hope to fix them after the weekend. When that change
is over, I am going add more pictures.

I plan to use this setup for the arm, as the setup needs to be forced
balance, as it currently use it holds the arm up by tugh hindge and that
does not work properly.
